I've never had good results photographing the grey bomarc.
Bad lighting, bad background, bad display position.
And its grey like the sky!!!
The Bomarc at Eglin was equally tough to shoot with the BRIGHT sun all the time. One trip I got there early enough to beat the
haze burnoff to get some decent pics.
The museum at the cape is another tough place to get decent pics as well. Dang sun.
I think theres 80 or so photos I scanned from the USAF Museum,
also scanned some 4x6's from Eglin Armament Museum when they first rolled out the Bomarc that "was" displayed for years.
Not currently displayed now. Probably being restored on base to avoid environmental hassles with residue runoff on public property. I also have a slew of photos of the Bomarc there when it was on display and weathered a bit.
Also took a bunch of pics of the rail launcher that was out behind the museum.
A few of the photo scans from the archives look like roll-outs from Boeing plants. Bazillion tiny stenciling everywhere!!!!
