May, 1985, and the hangar at Fliegerhorst Kaserne, Memmingenberg, FRG, during the Air Show celebrating the 50th Anniversary of the Kaserne and the 25th Anniversary of Jagdbombergeschwader 34 (JABOG 34), a nuclear-tipped NATO squadron operating during the Cold War at this Luftwaffe Air Base near the Black Forest. In this hangar, a Panavia Tornado on the left, and a Lockheed F-104 Starfighter on the right. The tornado eventually replaced the Starfighter in the Luftwaffe's fleet.


A Convair 880, formerly owned by Delta Air Lines, one of five acquired by Dwight Mercer, owner of Mercer Air Lines of Burbank, California. Mercer started his airline operation with a Waco Cabinplane, then grew to DouglasDC-2s, DC-3s, DC-4s and DC-6s. This photo was taken in 1977 while the five Convairs were stored at Burbank.


Economy Class aboard the Delta Convair 880, a medium ranged airliner that was outsold by the Boeing 727. Five across seating made things more comfortable for the narrow CV-880 than the six-across Boeing 727.
