It doesn't seem that long ago when they switched from A-4's; graceful little plane. A huge difference from the F4 Phantoms a few years earlier.

El Toro, CA. I surely miss the F4's, A4's and the F18C's that used to fly out of MCAS El Toro and saw almost every Air show there until it was moved to MCAS Miramar. I drove by the approach last Saturday, the base is slowly being eaten up by development. Google Earth shows a dismal picture of what could have been. KNZJ is the correct IACO, it's just no longer used. The base closed in 1999 and the land was sold in 2005.

This view of the T-28 looks like it's only 2 inches or 30 pounds from being a taildragger; maybe the nose art is holding the nose wheel to the ground.

If I had to guess it is the north end of Panamint Valley, which is also called a few other familiar names...
