Aircraft PicturesDiscuss Chino Pix in the World War II - Aviation forums; just wanted to see if i still got it, i wasn't sure about one of the ones i labeled ...
Great pics syscom.... I wish I knew what happened to all of my pics that I took from back in the day, airshows and reunions and whatnot... Very frustrating, now that having those pics means something... My father got rid of alot of that stuff after I moved out and joined the service...

A couple of crappy pics of two different P39's at Chino, again in 1984.
Notice one of them has a four bladed prop. I dont know if this was a Reno racer at one time.
The other pix, look at the exhaust stack, and the paint discoloration behind it. Thats a good indication of the airflow across the fuselauge at that point.

Thought you guys might like these. These were taken at Chino in 1988. The CAF had all three of their big birds there that year. The B17, the B24D and the B29.
If theres one thing that comes to mind when you see the B29 next to the other WW2 warbirds, is "its huge".
