Back to Valentines Day, 1987, and my first 'Photographers Tour' of MASDC. This was a Grumman US-2B Tracker pcn 1S 731. She was last operated out of Alameda and was retired December 1978. She left store for the civil register as N6535N in March 1991.
Landing on runway 20. By the side of the runway you can see the massive chains that were used in the original arresting gear instead of the present hydraulic system.
Guarding the military compound at Lanzarote Arrecife airport, this Mirage F1 is one of the former Qatari Mirage F1EDA's, her serial was QA73/C. She is marked as an ALA 14 aircraft.
