Forum rules
ImageThis is the forum to share your recent aviation photos with the rest of the community, being photos not older than six months at the moment of topic opening. Theme-based topics, not about recent events, should go into the sub-forum.
Although we will not screen beforehand, we reserve the right to delete any images, especially if clearly unsharp or otherwise low in quality. For more information on how to upload you images, check this post.
In topic titles, please use airfield names in stead of just codes, and be clear about what kind of photos your viewers can expect (e.g. CIV/MIL, location etc.).

Finally, bring any photo criticism understandable and to the point, not cynical or offensive! Simultaneously, do not feel offended by criticism per se, but simply explain your motives, taste et cetera, or ignore if you wish so.

I've made those pictures at Mojave Apt, but lost all the data. I was there somewhere late seventies or early eighties. Is there anyone who could date these pictures from the subjects ? Thanks.[/img]

Hi Ron, I'm quite sure your photos were taken in 1988, as I did see the same aircraft in June 88. Except that the F-106s were all inside and I wasn't allowed in for insurance reasons...

Regards,
Rob

Hai Rob,

1988, in my memory it should have been earlier, but if you say so..... 8)
Did you see a blank F104 with the regi 36-5019 as well?

Ron,
N4767R was registered during '84. The QF 100 52859 was converted at Mojave during '87 /88 ,so 85/88 must have been the period for you.
