UberDaveToo Posted January 5, 2023 Share Posted January 5, 2023 Cold war is right up my alley. I thought I'd share some pics from, what was then, the Naval Ordnance Test Station China Lake California. Almost every weapon carried by US jet fighters was developed at China Lake. I hope I've piqued a few members interest anyway. Dave 40 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roginoz Posted January 5, 2023 Share Posted January 5, 2023 Fantastic set of photos of some iconic aircraft, models of many of which grace [?] my display cabinets. Love the Super Connie AEW ! Possibly ask the mods to move your post to "aircraft photography" where it will probably attract a larger audience. Thanks for sharing these with us.
