I was going to wait until I got a negative scanner, but scans of the craptacular CVS prints seemed good enough to shrink to 8x6 for the likes of you guys... ;D
Some interesting stuff, much not seen even in flyboy28's voluminous posts... ::) ;D
Anyhoo, these were shot with my beloved 60s-vintage Canon FT QL, with a very nice stock 50mm 1:1.8 lens. The light meter is busted, but it's just a joy to look at things through it, and it takes pretty good pictures in my hands.

Part 1: A USN Lockheed P2V Neptune. I know nothing about its history, but really enjoyed the walk-through. This beast is just crammed with doodads and gizmos, including an electric 4-burner stove in the galley!
She's obviously been on a few missions, but a beautiful design nonetheless. Duh... it's a Lockheed; of course it has sweet lines.

What the heck is that thing in the center of the panel? Anybody?
I have a tendency to rush through these things; take pictures first and ask questions later... ::)

Next: I dunno; lemme look an' see...

Hey, I aim's-to-please. :)

Kind of looks like a star-chart for celestial navigation. A bit before GPS times. I didn't get to go in the Neptune, so I'm not too sure.
