Some photos I took at Ardmore airport in NZ in 1971/72.

The building was an old WW2 Corsair training hangar that was being used at that stage for hangaring a Dragon Rapide and other aircraft. There were other posters as well but they were either too damaged to be worth wasting film on or had too much paint on them (because some "nice" person had used posters to clean their paint brush on).

Tokunaga - a great photographer and a really nice guy! I was scheduled for the last civilian flight in an ANG F-106B, but that flight went to him; he was a much better shooter, and it couldn't have gone to a more decent fellow!

Cheers,


Dana

Will we ever see a movie like "The Blue Max" again?

In 1976's "The Eagle Has Landed," Michael Caine played a German paratrooper sent to England with a mission to Kill Churchill. His men were disguised as Polish paratroopers on a military exercise.

in 1976's "The Eagle Has Landed," The late Robert Duvall played a one-eyed, one armed, mountain troop officer who comes up with the plan to kill Winston Churchill. here he meets with Himmler (Donald Pleasance)

One of my all time favorite actors. Duvall wasn't too shabby either. They don't make them like that anymore. The Blue Max had George Peppard, James Mason (another favorite), and Jeremy Kemp.

Flyboys wasn't too bad. Yes, it has the usual Hollywood flaws but how many other WW1 aircraft movies does one get?

Is this what those Swamp Gas UFOs from the '60s really looked like?

No. Mine was piloted by the Greys.

Scene from the 1971 Woody Allen comedy, "Bananas."

"The Sand Pebbles." 1966.

 

[Maxrobot1]

From the great 1969 film "The Wild Bunch."

 

[Viking1066]

Both of those are great movies. Great casts with totally different directors giving each movie a distinct vibe, Peckinpah and Wise.
