Air Show pics

[rander]

These are airshow pics I took at a NAS Miramar Air Show I think was in the early 1980s in no particular order. The FA-18 in the pics May actually be a YF-17.

There is more comming as I figure out how to load my computer. These pics are scanned from 3X5 somewhat browning color pics

Looks like a YF-17. Similar to the one at Torrance Airport with the Western Museum of Flight. How many total were made? Never seen one with the XF on the tails.

I think the FA-18 was a fly before buy aircraft so there wern't more than 3 or 4 of them.

Rander, there were two YF-17s built; your photo is of the second.  By the way - don't dispair - those snapshots can actually be cleaned up!  (I used photoshop Elements 6).
