N1804U (cn 46603) Delivered to United in September of 1971, this DC-10-10 is taxing to the gate at CLE, past the old firehouse. The aircraft name was "Curtis Barkes", seen in script under the cheat line and the U in United. Picture was taken early 1972, I do not have the specific date. This aircraft flew for United for 23 years. From my collection and not my shot.

Unknown / 3 (cn Unknown) Thunderbird F-4E #3 taxis in at the conclusion of the 1972 Cleveland Air Show. Note the open drag chute canister at the tip of the tail- those chutes were a must for the F-4 on Burke's runway. The Thunderbirds flew the F-4 at CLE in 1969, 1972, and 1973. If you want to get a good look at the F-4 in Thunderbird colors, travel down to the Aviation plaza at Burke where a Thunderbird and Blue Angel F-4 are on display. I wish I had the s/n on this jet, but it is not visible, and the Thunderbirds would change position numbers on their jets as maintainence required, so a different jet could be No. 3 even at the very next show.
