El Mirage In Color - 1947

Ron ....thanks for this post It is so COOL...

Thanks ....Ol Deuce

 

Mr. Kellogg,

This is my first login to the HAMB since Saturday, so first chance I've had to see these great photos. As I was thumbing through them I'd notice something that might be pretty special to me.

This picture has a young kid that looks EXACTLY like my dad. He would have been 16 at this time. I'll have to confirm this with my Dad to see if it is indeed him and see if he remembers the kid in front of him without a shirt. Kind of looks like he is tagging along with this guy.

How cool would that be!

Another great post nonetheless. All of these photos are jewels.

Gaters -

 

Thanks, what a great window into the past

 

This is Ken Crawford driving the Burke/Francisco Tank.





:edit: Cool this is my 2000th post.

Just want to add me to the list of gratefull persons for you sharing this.
I forgott about the blistering winter outside for a looong time daydreaming my self to the dry lakes.....


Thanks
