Vintage shots from days gone by!

Did somebody say "caption needed".

"I can't believe what this guy just asked my mother to do".

 

Hmm, I wonder what this lever does?

^^^^ OK Bonnie, Where's Clyde?^^^^

 

And further to that, it is not the only plane in the picture, there are several at the terminal.

 

1969... rectangular marker lamps. 70 Grille was different.

 

Based on the shape of the vertical tail, the single tire rear landing gear I think it might be a Boeing Stratocruiser double decker commercial airliner that was a post war development of the B29 Stratofortress. Some still flying as Super Guppy specialized freight haulers.

 

It is C-99, B-36 based cargo plane.

 

That looks like the Guns of Navarone.

 

NOT the Spruce Goose, YB-60 is close, it's the gigantic cargo version of the B-36 Peacemaker.Quite a sight, quite an airplane! Our family went to the Portland Airport regularly, as did thousands of people.It had a huge deck just for gawking.Flying was still amazing in those days.

 

McEwen vs Ivo

 

Need a larger pic to make a real good opinion....

 

Vance Hunt's car at Famosa driven by Watus Simpson.

 

How's this?

 

Salem, Or

 

All production versions of the B36 and variants had multiple wheel rear landing gear

Pretty sure that's the Boing Factory on Everette bay Washington.

 

Tried to help out but when you make it larger it gets all fuzzy

 

14 lbs per cubic inch was the rule for E/ Gas competitors.

 

Thanks LB
Was curious to read the text, the name Don Ringer came up often in the early 70's around the drag racers I hung with, never met him, thought it might be a good read.
