Naval Air Station Lakehurst celebrated it's 50th anniversary in 1971. The boneyard was an impromptu playground if you used one of the back entrances - that would never happen nowadays. One of the Goodyear blimps paid homage to the vanished lighter than air presence that was the essence of Lakehurst. The Blue Angels F-4 team was fascinating to watch as they mounted their birds and formed up to t...

    Thanks for posting this outstanding footage Gary! I attended this event in ‘78 as a ten year old with my Dad, such great memories. We did the trip spur of the moment, so 3 days/nights sleeping in the back of our 1972 Olds Vista Cruiser as there were no motels available. We lived on KFC, Pepsi in glass bottles and junk food. What a show! The B-29, Mustang row, the Corsair mini squadron, rare planes like the Hawker Sea Fury and meeting Pappy Boyington, Chuck Yeager, seeing jets like the Harrier and the Concorde in person for the first time, the Tora, Tora, Tora flyby - just spectacular and priceless memories! The owners and pilots in the Warbird area were so fantastic, I took rolls of photos with my old 126 Instamatic and some were ruined by the heat so this video is pure Time Machine travel 😎❤️. I had just spent months building a 1/48 scale kit of a P-38 and I went gaga seeing one in person, the owner snuck up behind me going on and on to my Dad about it and he was so kind he let me sit in the cockpit and showed me all the work he did on the plane. It was heaven and the show was great, this was back just before the tarmac restrictions due to oblivious public members ruining that for others who paid attention, safety protocols and showed respect. My Dad and I took the Badger across from Ludington, MI to Manitowac, WI and now our daughter has now made the same trip twice! She is a CFI and climbing the ladder of hours to the airlines - we could not be more proud of her accomplishments, no doubt she will fly in to this show one day. This video brought back a flood of memories, we even went to a drive-in so my Dad could finally see Star Wars in ‘78! A double bill with Orca…funny how one remembers all the details closing in on 50 years later, but this event left an imprint on me forever. I will rewatch this video many times to see if I can spot us anywhere in the footage. Hope to go with our daughter again in the years to come, my Dad is 83 now and he will love this video as well. Kudos for making such a wonderful post!

    Currently work in one of the original buildings that built these B-17's and later the B-29's. I can see old archived photos of the inside and how planes were line up, the steel columns, which are still there, and the scalloped roof line which used to have windows facing north for more natural light. Not sure why they weren't facing south though? Maybe too much glare...

      The women all lost their jobs. There were propaganda campaigns that encouraged them to go back home. The fighting men would have been pissed if they survived the war but found no jobs. In fact, there was a mild recession in the late 1940's.
