Photo Comment

The Puerto Rico ANG (or PRANG) was the last operational user of the Starfighter in the USAF (1968-75); never common in American use, the only others by this time were the natural finish aircraft of the Luftwaffe training unit at Luke AFB, AZ. Nice to see another Lockheed classic sharing the ramp. Langley AFB was the first airbase in the US, opened 1916
