Right you are Chris - that is downtown Phoenix in the 1950's. I believe that is Central Avenue below. These Sabre's were out of the ANG at Sky Harbor.
Seriously nice. My Dad was an AF photographer as well although we only discovered his images after his passing:

Share more when you're able.
Jeff Welker:....woooooooowwwwww!!!! Super!!!
James & Kaspar - glad you like the vintage photos. I'm going through my dad's negatives (when he let's me ;)) and will post others as I can get them scanned.
Jeff,
Awesome Sabre shots. Would you please consider joining and adding these photos to my Flickr group? The Group is: North American Sabres (F-86 and FJ Series Aircraft). The link is: http://www.flickr.com/groups/wingsnstuff/
You bet. I've sent a request to join.
Jeff
I remember seeing the F-86s zooming around the valley when I was a kid here in Phoenix. Your photos (your Dad's photos) make me smile.

Beauty Ned, nice to not have canopy glare, great angle also.
Chandlers F-86D is now at Veterans Oasis Park as part of a new Field Of Honor constructed in the SW corner of the park.
Visited there at dusk with Joe and Dave the other evening. I shot a Holy Grail timelapse and made a little 4K YouTube video:

From the same night as Jay's magnificent time-lapse. So good seeing him and Dave out there.
Love the effect Joe. It?s one that many forget about but it?s actually simple to do.
