Hi Bullhunter,
Go to your full size image on imageshack. Click on Get Linking Code. Scroll down to where it says Hotlink for forums (1). Highlight that URL and copy it and paste it into your message on the F-106 Forum. That should give you a full size picture on the F-106 Forum post.

If you want to show a thumbnail on the F-106 Forum that links to the full size picture back at imageshack then highlight the line that says Thumbnail for forums (1). You'll get this



You were in the right church but the wrong pew :yellowbeer:

Thanks,

PS: It's probably a good idea to use the linked thumbnail shots because sometimes the pictures people store are way bigger than the margins on this page and it blows the mind of our Webmasters program (ie: readers have to scroll right to see the whole picture and every other post on the page gets as wide as the image. That's a bummer when you tune into the top 30 most recent posts and have to scroll right and left until that big sucker with the picture becomes number 31 and finally gets off the page.

Worked OV-10's armament in Korea back in 1982. They were a lot more fun to work on than the F-4E's (hated them). They were replaced with OA-37s about 8 months after I arrived. I kept waiting for the SP's to leave one of their M-60s alone for a minute in the chow hall. I could have left it for them in a bunch of little pieces.

The pilot in you is right!
I'm not a pilot and loved to go up in them.
It was a bonus when the pilot let us fly from the back seat.

Zaragoza,,,,Si





Monasterio De Piedra !





I had a great 45 days there.

I know you Air Force guys will get on my case about this but the Grumman OV-1 Mohawk could eat the "Bronco" for lunch, it was the only twin-engined turbine aircraft designed for the US Army, relegated to surveillance/recon duties and some ground attack missions, until Air Force told the Army it wasn't their job...The OV-10 Bronco did an exceptional job and we had them mark airstrikes for us in the A Shau Valley... The Mohawk had the Grumman A-6 wing in parts and was stressed to 13g's and could do 385 KTS, even loaded, and it shot down a Mig-17 over Loas........

T-33 wing tank & Mt. Rainer (14,410 ft.)

Closer wingtank shot of Mt. Rainers Top.
We circled it maybe 6 or 8 times and also did a barrow roll over the top. Will always remember that flight and the stick time the pilot gave me.

Photo is out of an New Assignment Book I received when I transfered from Norton AFB, CA to Griffiss AFB, NY about 1974.

Believe it's a 49th FIS bird (B model) refueling along one of the great lakes.

The next photo I took of the KC-135 Tanker ramp in winter. The 2 tankers on the left facing forward are the EWO Alert Force Tankers.
