Victor, Thank you for once again sharing your dad's photos. Color images from this era are rare and his choice of subjects are often themselves unique. In the Los Alamitos set there are 2 shots of F7U-3M #129655, now in the NMNA, as well as the Blue Angels in one there final shows in the F9F-8 Cougars. Held less than two months later the Miramar set presents the Blues in their new mounts the "short nose" F11F-1 Tigers. Note at this time the tail numbers have yet to be applied. As a Cutlass fan it is a treat to see what may be the only color shot in existence of the ultra-rare F7U-3P. Thanks again, looking forward to the next set of your dad's photos.
