Hi
What is the aircraft at the west of the parking area and the one about 600ft behind it with Canberra like wings?
ID any others you care to.

Are we talking about the red/orange and white plane?
It has props, not a jet. I'll stay with it being an A-26.

This is me with a Martin B-57E Intruder.

Third from the right, the line from the corner of the large white structure goes down to its wingtip, that's the Canberra, a B57 with tandem cockpit I think. |

Hi Stu
No I was querying the one a lot further back on the same line as that one. I used the scale marker (bottom LH corner) to estimate the distance, the A26 is only about 50 ft back.

My bad, I thought it read 60', need new glasses! 
Sorry, I didn't look that far over. There's a DC-3/C-47 in the middle of that pack. |
