O-2 Skymaster Pictures

[MoMatt]

Hey all,

My old man is rapidly approaching a June retirement from the airlines, and I have been tasked with making a poster-size compilation of all of the airplanes he has flown.

I'm having difficulty finding a print-quality copy of the O-2.

Does anyone have any high-resolution (300dpi) pictures of this airplane (in flight, or in Vietnam) they would be willing to donate? Please PM me with details.

It's been a fun project so far; getting to go through old airplane pictures is cool.

Thanks!

Edit: I've exhausted all of the online photo databases (like airliners.net); I'm looking for something a little more exciting than an O-2 in tiedowns or in a museum. Any former F.A.C.'s out there that might have some shots of this plane in flight?

Try going to a military history museum and see if they have archived photos of the O-2... that's all I can think of for now.

not sure if this is what you are looking for, but there are some inflight photos:
