I think you'll find the Connie is an EC-121/Warning Star. |
C2J,
You were much, much closer with your first guess. |
Mitchell Field / Mitchell AFB, Garden City Long Island, NY.
1917 to 1961. Lots of aviation firsts here. C2j |
That is a direct hit on Mitchel Field.
Your bomb release. :ok: |
Who would have thought you could operate a B-36, C-124, C-121 or some of those early jets out of a ~6000 foot long runway?
OK lets try this one... https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/pprune....a9a1b23bd2.jpg C2j |
Looking at the SD hat badge of the person in front of the 109. It looks RAF,
Are we in the UK ? |
On second thoughts it might be USA.
|
How about Wright Field in company with an Eastern DC3?
|
Not Wright Field. It is the USA.
C2j |
New York State ?
|
No. Much closer to Wright Field than New York state. This was not a military field.
C2j |
Might be California then.
|
Eastern didn't fly that far west. This airport was on Eastern's regular flight routing. Not so much the Me-109.
|
Georgia or Texas ?
|
Not Georgia or Texas. In its' early days, the airport was prone to flooding leading to a comically derogatory nick-name.
|
Tennessee ?
|
109 appears to be in Spanish markigs.
|
I believe the 109 is actually in British markings. dook, at the time the pic was taken, there were 48 states. You only have 43 more to go! Let's cut the odds and say this is east of the Mississippi river.
Here is another picture, I believe it was taken at the same time. https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/pprune....2fdb31ffc0.jpg This airport is still in operation, though airline service has been shifted to a newer airport on the other side of the cause for flooding. |
Alabama is prone to flooding - 42 to go !
|
No, not Alabama. LOL!
Here is a little more meat to chew on (I think). https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/pprune....6053a311e7.png |
