3. Flash Screen for Korea terrain

This site has tons of great aircraft images, very interesting.
Be sure to go 3/4 of the way down to see an F86. Keep your eyes on the plane, not anything else!


Failed... just couldn't do it! :roll:

Thanks Iart, it's looking great.
Just a quick update for those interested.

My dad, Charles E. Wilson, enlisted in the Air Corp during WWII, with my Uncle William Wright. Dad scored higher on the test and was sent to navigator school. Dad was upset as Uncle Bill went on to become a pilot, flew P47's with 397th Jabo Angels. Mean while dad was sent to fly the Burma Hump in C-46's. Later he was to the Pacific and was one of the first aircraft to bring prisoner of war out of Japan. As a kid I remember dad had a hard time buy anything "Japanese", because of the poor condition of POW's. I remember him saying that often the crew didn't eat their box lunches because the POW's were so under nourished, they just gave everything to them.
After WWII he got out and went to the University of Louisville and attained a degree, and I was born. When the Korean conflict started up he went back to re-enlist on the condition he got to be a pilot. Dad flew F-80's during training, then flew F-84's and F886's. He was assigned to the 36th Fighter Squadron, and because a squad leader, with the "Flying Fiends". Dad said the F86 was the easiest plane he flew, you thought about going some where and the plan went there before you knew you were making inputs.
After the Korean Conflict he went back to Louisville and got a degree in engineer, and work for various aircraft and electronic companies. He got a job offer from General Dynamics and we moved to San Diego. He became the project engineer for the Atlas and Centaur programs.
Dad passed away in May of last year and is now at the Miramar National Cemetery.
