Denis,

No idea at all. Was trying to figure out what kind of car it was and no luck.

Photo was taken with my Brother who had just returned from the US Navy off of the shores of Korea.

I wish I still had the guitar I was playing in those pics. A '65 strat that was all original except for a brass nut. That was a sweet guitar...traded it for a mongrel '58 neck on a '63 body strat. Another sweet guitar until a tech ruined the neck during a fret dress. Bastard...I cried...

To keep with the Porsche theme...circa 1975. Oregon Region, PCA president Fred Flegel discussing the 55 mph speed limit with an Oregon State Official.

Then how about these? My dad in '66.


He flew 100+ missions over 'Nam in an F-105-F. Prior to that he flew an F-86 in Korea. and a B-25 over Italy in '43 and '44. Non-combat he's flown the B-29 B-36, F-101, F-104, F-106, and many more.

Here he is in '06 at a track event. The track is located where the old WWII basic field was. He solo-ed a PT-17 Stearman form this loaction in 'early '43.


Old pilots... They just fade away....
