      Re: Nut Tree Park

      Used to be the highlight of a summer evening.
      Eat at Murillo's mexican restaraunt up the street (or downtown for the old-timers) and walk it off at the Nut Tree. They had the greatest model selection and the biggest aviation bookstore I have ever seen. They used to have a photo wall out at the visitor's area of the airport that had hundreds of personalities on it.
      A lot of us got our first jobs there in the shops or bakery. It was a big loss when they closed it down.

        That photo wall was what inspired me to start collecting autographed photos of pilots/planes.

        And I sat in my very first P-51 cockpit on the ramp @ Nut Tree. I think I was 4.

        I think it would be cool if the 'renovated' park would re-issue some of the Nut Tree posters and stuff.

          Some of them were for sale at Travis AFB museum when I visited on Saturday.

            Ooooh, might have to look in that direction. Do you remember what ones you saw?

              No, but I'll be back there on Sunday for the P-38 Aces seminar so I'll have a look.

              They certainly had a series of postcards - I picked up a few for friends in the UK interested in early aviation.
