Default Air Force Family Portrait 1958

Well, the H-19 is smack dab in the center of the picture. The B-66 is to the
left of the F-94C, which is left of the H-19. But, you are right about the
rest of them.

Interesting picture

Where is the B-58 & F-104 Starfighter, I saw them in the Paris air show
in 1958


The B-58 was still in flight test mode in 1958, it wouldn't be operational
until 1961. The F-104 became opertional in January1958, but was grounded
soon after due to a succession of accidents. The photo may have been
taken during that period.
