Default Sweet Pictures! Sweet Rims!!

Very nice Bill!!
Gonna miss you and Stead...!

Three vanes on the wing is a Mig-17.
Two vanes is a Mig-15.
Several examples of both there as well as many other restored and flyable military aircraft.
Mig-21's routinely fly out of there.
Those are both T-33's in the backround, true F-80's are rare.
F-100 sitting at the east end of the same ramp.
F-86 and many WWII Warbirds based there.

You're ride is really looking good, Bill!!
Take Care...

I have to admit that gray/silver is not my first choice in colors, but damn that would look nice in my garage. Beautiful car, one to be proud of.
