Busy Day

[LePetomane]

Today was a busy day. I played my first tennis match since I got my USTA 4.5 rating. Won in three sets. My son is visiting for a week and we are showing him around. We took a drive through the Bighorns. The highlight was the Museum of Flight and Aerial Firefighting in Greybull, Whoming. There are a few old airplanes that can be viewed through a chain link fence but unfortunately the large aircraft boneyard can not be accessed. Still a good time. I do not know what these planes are with the exception of the Lockheed Electra in the first photo.







The place was closed. The best I could do was shooting through a chain link fence.

Think we will put this on our list for our next trip to Wyoming! Looks interesting. Thanks for sharing!

Nice shots.

Judith, be aware that the place is never open. All photos were taken through a chain link fence. One cannot get anywhere near the airplane graveyard. Still, come to Wyoming. The Bighorns are spectacular. Lots to see.

I think that the aircraft with the twin boom tail is one of the variants of the C-119 Globemaster, probably the C-119G and quite possibly this one: https://www.airteamimages.com/fairch...ce_162718.html

I love the black and white photos, it seems like you had so much fun on this trip.

It was called a "Flying Boxcar". The Globemaster was a Douglas heavy transport airplane.

Pardon my pedantry ...

Unfortunate about the chain link but you did well to accommodate the restriction.

I am pretty sure I would have driven past that place when we did a holiday in Yellowstone/Tetons about 10 years ago.

Would this ring any bells ?

Peter, that is the place. Greybull is about three hours from the east gate of Yellowstone. There's not a lot going on there.
