Numba' two is represented in a semi-famous Barber's Point pix that has now disappeared from the internet.
We stayed at the Barber's Point Beach cottages. The best deal for a place to stay on the beach for cheap!It's a crying shame what's happened out there. The only "oasis" left is on the Coastie's side of the field.![]()
Man flying those must have been tops. I wonder what the time frame on this photo was?

I remember this bird very well, first thing I saw when I had off from school or it was a saturday and dad had a maintainence flight and I was lucky enough to get taken to the base with him and would hang out in the ready room and at lunch would enjoy the burgers for under a buck from mickey d's, pop used to buy a whole bag of them haha :tongue2_1
Wasn't that McDonalds across the road from where the static display airplanes were?
A real (600' pattern) FLCP field (Whitehouse)
First two pics bring back fond memories from flight school CQ; I was in that parking lot looking at that Hornet when I made the call to my folks to say "Look Ma, I'm a qual!"Here are a few more pics I took at Cecil earlier this year when I went to see the B-17 Aluminum Overcast.
