Here are the images I promised on the WIFF – I was able to get a hold of the, possibly original, negatives to scan. Bill Purdue, pilot type in Academics, knew I was working on that B-52 stuff for the 11th and allowed be to borrow them for a day or two. These were scanned in 600 dpi, so they could be turned into a 11×16 size picture without loosing any quality.
Almost forgot, James – Yellowstone was about 1 ½ hours from where I went to school in Bozeman. Occasionally my roommates & I would take off and stay in West Yellowstone to hunt elk. From what mom tells me, Yellowstone has done a good job recovering from the huge fires in the mid to late ‘80s.
A side note for those ever heading to Glacier National Park…according to the Park Rangers, all the glaciers in that area will be gone by 2012!
Bob & Yak – hope you’re doing okay down there!

Great pictures. I guess there aren’t too many pictures of this. SAC guys mostly followed the rule of “no cameras” back then.
