WOW!! All super nice pics were did you get em'?

That would take all the fun out of moving them from a very obscure site to one where a large number of people will be able to reference and enjoy them.

My idea was exactly that, to let the largest number possible of aircraft nuts enjoy these amazing images.

I have no idea of how many this will end up with, just that they are an incredible source seeing as how the vast majority are actual factory images taken by Grumman.

As stated earlier, Grumman have approved the owner of the images to release them into the public domain, he sought and recieved their permission prior to posting them.

I have no idea of how many more are to come yet, but I think a lot. Does anyone have any suggestions on a better way to do this so it is easier for people to load?

Cheers for that. I was extracting the urine with that comment regarding a member who got huffy and left over another thread.

The aircraft carrier with the number 60 on it is the USS Saratoga (CVA-60).
