Another Set From Slaton, Texas

Some very interesting stuff here!

 Buckeye trainer at Air Museum just outside Slaton.

 An old two-seat F-101!

 Phantom jet!


 Above, you see something of historical interest that my wife spotted: it is a vintage South Western Bell utility manhole lid. This dates back to before the infamous breakup. Was THAT ever a bad decision! This was in downtown Slaton, in front of an old telephone switching center that is probably still in use. My wife knows a lot about such things.

 F4 canopy-- I assume the ejection seat was disarmed...
 
 This old Navy Jet was something new. 
 
This poor old F-14 is slowly sinking into the ground. The Tomcat was pretty much a fiasco. What the Navy needed was the F-18. The swing wing idea died hard.
