1972.
This must be a populated area. Back in 1972 in Montgomery, AL gas was 24 cents for full service. The attendant pumped the gas, checked the oil, washed the windshield, asked about my family, and handed my a bunch of green stamps.
The first time I paid three whole dollars for a full tank of gas I was outraged!

Settled in 1860, Buckskin Joe, Colorado was one of the state's oldest mining camps. The rich deposits here played out in a few years, and by 1866 the town was abandoned. Buckskin Joe was notable as the location that Horace Tabor operated a store before moving to Leadville, where he would become known as the "Bonanza King", one of Colorado's wealthiest mine owners.

This FA-18F Super Hornet is based at Amberley RAAF Base Queensland and was taken during the Riverfire rehearsal. Riverfire is an event held as part of the Brisbane Festival.

"James Maitland Stewart, of Indiana Pennsylvania, had over 400 flight hours as a civilian pilot when he enlisted in the Army Air Corps in 1941, and became an instructor for both the B-17 and B-24. He was 33 years old."
According to the National Aviation Hall of Fame: "In November 1943, Stewart was sent to England as Operations Officer for the 703rd Squadron, 445th Bombardment Group of the Eighth Air Force, transferring to the 453rd Bombardment Group in March 1944. Then Major Stewart flew 20 dangerous combat missions as a B-24 command pilot, wing commander or squadron commander, earning the Distinguished Flying Cross with two Oak Leaf Clusters, The Air Medal with three Oak Leaf Clusters, and the French Croix de Guerre with Palm." (Source: National Aviation Hall of Fame)
Colonel Stewart remained in the US Air Force Reserve and was promoted to Brigadier General in 1959.
During his two weeks of active duty in 1966 Stewart requested a combat assignment, and he was duly sent on an inspection tour of Vietnam, where his stepson, 1Lt Ronald McLean, had recently been fatally wounded at the age of 24. Stewart insisted on participating in a strike against VC targets, flying a mission at the controls of B-52F 57-0149.
After 27 years of service, James retired in 1968 and was awarded the United States Air Force Distinguished Service Medal. Stewart rose from Private to Colonel in just four years.
After the war James returned to his acting career. James passed away on July 2, 1997 at the age of 89 in Beverly Hills California. Over 3,000 were in attendance during his memorial service with full military honors. He lies in rest at the Forest Lawn Memorial Park in Glendale California.
As a lifelong advocate for aviators James Stewart has rightfully earned his place in the National Aviation Hall of Fame. Lest We Forget.

46 years ago, Lt. Victor Belenko, landed his Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-25 “Foxbat” at Hakodate Airport, Japan (September 6, 1976). The defection provided an intelligence bonanza, and gave the West its first detailed assessment of the Mach 3 MiG-25 and a chance to debrief a front-line Soviet pilot. The aircraft was partially disassembled and flown to a JASDF base near Tokyo, where it is fully disassembled and inspected in detail. On November 12, the Foxbat, in crates, was loaded on a Soviet freighter and returned.

I heard the US government gave him a "reward" for bringing the aircraft over of 1 million dollars and citizenship. They took him to a shopping mall to buy clothes and shoes he could pick out. He asked what was the limit for how many pair of shoes he was allowed. They said all you want. He did not believe that. The took him down the mall and into several other shoe stores, all full of shoes. Then he said this must be for propaganda, and all a set up. So they drove to another mall and showed him the bounty of capitalism.
