    Not an Electra. Looks like a Constellation.

    Lockheed C-69 Constellation.
    Correction (9-Aug-2024) - See comment by f104_zipper below. USAAF Serial No. 43-10311, c/n 049-1963. As per the Joe Baugher site, subsequently re-registered as N67952. Repurchased by Lockheed and [sold] to Capital Airlines, Sep 9, 1950, as 'Capitaliner Freedom'. Sold to Modern Air Transport Sep 25, 1961.

    I believe this is actually C-69 43-10311, Lockheed serial number 1963. After USAAC/USAF service, went to Capital Airlines and was broken up in 1965.

02_L-00734 Tony LeVier and Herman "Fish" Salmon and F-104

    On the far left is Lockheed Test Pilot Tony LeVier, on the far right is another legendary aviator and test pilot, Herman R. 'Fish' Salmon (See: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Herman_Salmon ). Salmon would take the F-104 up on its first flight on February 17, 1956. What is also interesting about this photo is if you look over LeVier's right shoulder, you will see a fairing covering this F-104 Starfighter's jet intake. The F-104's intake design was initially classified, and early publicity photos featuring the aircraft were made with these fairings concealing the aircraft's intake configuration. Accordingly, it is very likely that they aircraft they are standing in front of is one of the first two service test Lockheed YF-104A Starfighters (USAF Ser. Nos. 55-2955 or 55-2956). Here is a lowered-resolution photo in the SDASM Photostream better illustrating the fairings (also possibly featuring Salmon in the pressure suit): The gentleman in the suit is the (then) long-time president of the Lockheed Corporation, Robert E. Gross. Since the YF-104A first flew in February 1956, and Robert Gross' last year leading Lockheed was 1956, we can be relatively confident that this photo was taken that year as well. I am unable to identify the other pilot in the photo at this time.

    The pilot standing next to the 104's needle is "Fish" Salmon, my dad
