Southern Seaplane has a seaplane facility and small airstrip beside a canal south of New Orleans near Belle Chase. In 1985, their business was primarily flying workers to offshore oil and gas production facilities in the Mississippi Delta not served by helicopters. The fleet was mostly Cessna 185s. The company acquired this DHC-2 Beaver, N53LP, from Dominion Air Lease Ltd. of Toronto in August 1984 (ex-C-GTER) and flew it until March 1990 when it was sold to Lake Union Air Service in Seattle and N91LU. On the date of the photo, the company was also overhauling two Grumman G-44 Widgeons.

This F-4E was assigned to the Thunderbirds from 1969-1972. On 4 June 1972, flying as #3, it had a structural failure of the horizontal stabilizer and crashed during the Transpo 72 Airshow at Dulles Airport, Washington, D.C. The pilot had a good ejection, but during his descent the wind blew his parachute into the burning aircraft wreckage and he perished.

This F-4E was active with the Thunderbirds from 1969-1973 and flew as the slot a/c, #4. The slot a/c flies behind and slightly below the lead F-4E. As a result, number #4 vertical fin and rudder are in the exhaust of #1, causing the dark staining. It was not cleaned off during the season to show how close together the a/c flew. After the Thunderbirds switched to the T-38 in 1974 this a/c was assigned to the USAF Flight Test Center at Edwards AFB. Retired in 1991 and eventually scrapped.

The USAF Thunderbirds operated the F-4E 1969-1973. F-4E 66-0302 was the lead (#1) a/c in 1970. It had a fairly short life with the USAF, being retired in September 1977. It was on display for many years at McDill AFB, Florida, but was scrapped in 2016 due to severe airframe corrosion. It is difficult to identify the Thunderbird airframes as the USAF s/n is not displayed on the aircraft. The USN Blue Angels do display the USN Bureau Number on their aircraft.
