Hi Dan and all I did definitely recognize Whiteman (I took my pvt checkride there in 1955) the old San Fernando airport. I think the desert scenes are either El Mirage or Rosamond Dry Lake. Of course who could miss Van Nuys. The Air Guard shared the field and we all took our pictures sitting in the P-51s.
Looking at the old movies Whiteman looked kind of scary with the wires and all---It was just normal back then--in fact it was a "big" airport. <G> It was kind of like a time machine---all those clean cut young kids-- I went the CAP Cadet route I never heard about the Air Scouts. Cheers: Paul 1431A KSDM Thank you very much for sharing this ! North Hollywood Optimists - so definitely SoCal (Region 7). Maybe Van Nuys, Burbank, Whiteman/Pacoima, or perhaps one a dozen others that have since been closed and turned into strip malls in the years that have passed...?
