New Planes at NAS Whiting Field
Last week we had the opportunity to take Greg Davis, a photojournalist, flying in the T-6B at NAS Whiting Field. Greg was in town to get photos of the T-6B, T-6A and the T-34C for an upcoming magazine article. The T-6B will be replacing the T-34C as the Navy's primary trainer. This transition will take about 3 years at Training Wing FIVE to complete. I have been lucky enough to have flown all three aircraft during my time in the Navy as a flight instructor. You can see the entire photo gallery at Focal Plane Imagery. As you can see from the below photos, the weather weather was absolutely perfect. I am flying the T-6B 166010 in the photos.

HAPPY BIRHTDAY GRANDPA JOHN!
We are all wishing you a great Birthday and thought it would be neat to look back 69 years ago and see what was happening in the world in 1940. That's a long time ago for some of us. Why don't we take a look at some of the technology when Grandpa John was born.
Thank goodness for the evolution of television. That's a long way from today's flat screens!
And how about the computers of the 40's?

How about a quick peek at the automobiles of the day.
Here is the blockbuster hit of 1940:
We all are wishing you many more birthdays and want you to know how much we love you.
