South Weymouth Naval Air Station, Mass through the years

[Tieleader]

Hey, guys.
Gonna go with a theme here as I continue to scan the 35mms. S.W. was once a very active base just south of Boston. Airshows each year as well as being a training base. Didn't survive the budget cuts and was carved for private development. First off the 1970's...

Continuing thru the years. This time into 1980's and early 1990's. The focus this time is on trainers. For a short history on the base check out this site.

Again all pixs are 35mm and by me. More at a later date, it takes quite a while to scan and clean up each pix...
Enjoy!

A great selection of trainers. I like the Ha200 it reminds me of a Me262 that someone has squashed a bit. Lovely selection

Next batch. This time focusing (well most of the time ) on transports, patrols, ecm/ew, asw birds. As always all 35mm pixs by me. Enjoy!

a few more. What I really noticed is that most of the ships (and planes) these birds are stenciled as assigned to are now decommissioned. Feeling really old...

Wow, that brought me back. Never got to a show at Weymouth, but I lived in CT and then NH. That T-6G in the first post I knew very well- in fact I built a model of it. Thanks!

Wonderful days. WW2 birds, T-birds, Blue Angels, and all the then-new tech.All within 20 minutes of where I live. Also one tragic day. I was there when that stunt pilot went in during a demo...sad.
BTW still have all the fighters to do. Maybe later today.

Some early F-14A Tomcat shots.
Anytime, baby!
