1950 Nash at the 456th Change of Command at Castle Air Force Base, CA. 1963, with the jolly humor that most military squadrons, platoons, commands have had for silly things like the group's informal car



The "two star" flags on the Rambler Command Staff Car are misleading, as it's actually carrying the departing, and incoming Lieutenant Colonels.

The "El Jefe" (The Boss) decals on the front fenders hint to the tongue in cheek spirit in which the car was decorated by the squadron members…

The story goes, that it was originally fit with an F-106 pitot tube and mast. Which despite sporting a "remove before flight" tag was removed at request of Air Police, who deemed the needle a pedestrian hazard

The images are terribly distorted because the only source of them on the internet I can find does not have the images. Google shows them as being on the Hobbytalk.com forum, but the images don't show up there, just the thumbnails in google
