At first I didn't know what Ken was talking until I searched the back ground.


I had to google 'sffd alf century' and saw a picture of a phire truck. Still not 100% sure, but if I had to guess alf is the manufacturer, century is the model.  When I think 'Century', I'm thinking F-101, F-102, F-104, F-105 and F-106.

Yes, with more research done by me (not putting much stock in wikipedia in the future!), it is clear that the Phantom shot was taken in 93, and the plane is from Nellis.

I didn't even NOTICE the phire truck until you brought it up, all I could see was the lovely Phantom.

With the WA tailcode, I'd lean towards Nellis. GA tailcode, I'd say George.

Either way, I'm more interested in the SFFD Alf Century in the background.

Thanks!  The F-4G's from Nellis!!!

Normally in all matters Phantom I would defer to you, but I am pretty sure they were still at George.  I think the pic is from 1991, the 561st didn't go to Nellis until 93.

My only Black Friday purchase, totally on impulse, a negative/slide to digital converter.   Now I am pounding my head against the wall, because I can't find all the negatives, or I am upset with my old self for not taking MORE photos back in the day.

Ah well, a couple more from Miramar days gone by.  Rest of the set can be seen here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/18842924@N03/sets/72157625576108474/

Shot with a Nikon 35mm film camera (non-SLR) and converted to digital.  I have gone through all the negatives, printed pictures, EVERYTHING, and I cannot find a date on these, probably early 90s, might be late 80s.  More coming, some I have negs for, some I have prints and need to find the negs.
