A Visit to Lincoln, Nebraska

A ubiquitous C-47, several of which could be found at every air base during
this time.
Last Friday, we saw some shots taken by a young aviation enthusiast at Scott Field, Illinois in the mid-to-late 1940s. Today, we have some drive-by snapshots that he took at Lincoln Air Force Base in Nebraska.

Clearly the airfield security back then wasn't what it is today!









AT-6D Texan 41-33648. 
8/19/2012 update: This AT-6C, 41-33648, was eventually transferred to the RAF as Harvard II number EX675. It later crashed during a forced landing on 18 April 1950.

    Thanks for posting such wonderful photos of some airplanes at the old Lincoln Airfield! Sure wish you had more as photos of this facility are rare!
