My grandfather had a stoke a few weeks ago Sad

and he wants some photos of aircraft he flew in the Air Force (1944-1965) to hang in his hospital room. Does anyone know where I can find good photos of the following?

P-51D
F-86 Sabre
T-33
F-4 Phantom
F-101 Voodoo

They need to be fairly large and high-rez. If anyone has any links or information, I would be most appreciative.

Hi Ender Baron

Call the closest Air Force Base as I take it he was in the USAF.
Ask for the Public Relations Officer.
Give him your Grandfathers Name, Rank, and Serial Number....explain to him what you want.
Leave the rest to them.
They will probably present PRINTS to him at no cost at an agreed time. (ex. Christmas, Birthday whatever)
It would be nice to have family members present probably to justify the presentation.

Good Luck...Cheers...Doug

And FYI, unless things were different back in the day, his serial number would be his SSN.

Best wishes, EB. My thoughts are with you and your family. Wink
