Jeez… you’re like a machine.

Phabulous phun phorthcoming…

Anyway you can scan that photo for us to see? Someone may be able to shed some light for you…

Fade to Black…

here it is.

Dang, that’s a bad angle… would you be able to make a really hi-res scan of the numbers on the tail?

Fade to Black…

Tell me about it it took most of yesterday just get where iam at now.

So what program did you use. How did you get it so clear ?

paint shop pro XI It’s a free 30 day trial.

My guess is that the first number is 3 and the second is a 5. Other than that I have no idea. Notice the key word here is"Guess".

is there any way for you to get ahold of records of which plane your father flew…like the bureau numbers or something like that…i mean thatd be a step in the right direction

Did you try flipping the colors?

I Give up i aint gona F*^*K around with this any more iam getting two diffrent numbers one was weiten on the picture the other was after i blew it up 200% and made the resalution 600

now he says the tail number is 63-7437 he says its D model and from what i can tell they where all C models you would think for a machanic on an F-4 he would remember. If you guys wanna mess with more power to ya iam not a software guy and dont now anything about touching up photos.

I could make up a number if you would like.
