My Scanner has died.

Unfortunately my printer/scanner look like it got the Corona H-19 virus.  It quit working.  I would call it a piece of crap, but it is over ten years old.  Since this last microsoft  update it quit working. Cannon has not updated the driver for machine since 2009...  This put the F 86 wing conversion on hold.   As my Best Buys is on lock down. Also with all the other business....  I will keep my comments about this great hoax to myself.  Being 71 striving war, many flu virus, heart problems and knee replacement. I'm still kicking around...  Stay Tuned...

KC-97 & C-97

The 50's , 60's and 70's had the sky full of great silver birds.  KC-97 being the first aerial tanker had many great look color scheme.  Dayglo Orange and Artic Red stood out the most. All picture are for reference.  I do not claim these as mine.  My purpose it to show the history of the aircraft. If many of the photos belong to you let me know.  I will give you credit for the photo.
