• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

Ohio Air Show 1954 In Color!

Excellent document, some of those pics look as if they were taken yesterday, the only giveaway being as you say the clothing. Men in suits, no women in pants, no blue jeans in evidence.
How many of those a/c are till our favourites today!
 
Absolutely fascinating stuff - some rare old birds there (aircraft too !).

I particularly like the YB-52, the Cutlass prototype, and the old Phantom - according to my book, 111749 was the first production FD-1.

The Starfire is a forgotten gem - it was the very first plastic model kit I ever made - looks like there is only one survivor at Edwards AFB.

Lovely old archive, Kevin - thanks.
 
Thanks for posting Kevin!

Some great photos of rare aircraft; until just now I never heard of a two-seat Sabre! Color shots of the XC-99 are a first for me too.
