A Few Words–Please Read
Postimg.org had a registry problem about a year ago and they had to move to Postimg.cc.
All photos are still available; but, the "CC" must be subtituted for "ORG" in the corresponding URL address to get to the proper place. (Hold cursor over link to get URL address or change in address line.) Postimg.org becomes Postimg.cc.
Also... any URLs with the prefix "old." need to have that removed completely as well. IE, old.postimg.org/ should be amended to postimg.cc
Let me know if I need to fix any links beyond the dozens that I have already fixed.

About Me
My name is Ron Downey. I am a retired Aeronautical Engineer who worked for McDonnell Aircraft and McDonnell Douglas Corp for 40 years and collected many photos, info and brochures of their products. While the F-4 is my favorite, I have many other MDC items and these will be scanned and presented here. In addition, I have been an aviation historian for most of my adult life and I have amassed a large amount of info over my 50+ years of collecting and will be bringing that here also. My aim is to bring aviation material (Photos, articles; etc) to this blog before it is lost; but, not in-depth explanations as any good search engine can be used for that purpose. I may be contacted at: aviationarchives(at)gmail.com
Copyright and Photo Credits
As all of this info was originally for my use only in order to build plastic scale models, I never paid too much attention to copyrights or proper photo credits. Therefore, if something is not credited correctly, please let me know and I will be happy to delete or properly credit the material. (I have in my possession all the items and original material and these are all new scans, except where noted.) All photos and info are credited to McDonnell Douglas/The Boeing Company unless otherwise noted. Feel free to use any of this info with the credit of Ron Downey via Aviation Archives. I can be reached at: aviationarchives(at)gmail.com.

Saw this little bird about the second week it was on display at WPAFB love at first sight told myself I'd build a model of it some day. Retired and decided to build it, but after getting to WPAFB the little plane was gone ... they could not find it? then they got mad when I as how do you lose a one of a kind plane from the middle of a hanger ... got an angry letter from WPAFB how dare I say they lost it ... well to my way of thinking if you can't find something and it's spot on the floor is empty ... it's lost. They sent a follow up which claimed it was in for a new paint job ... hope it wasn't bright orange. so far a tiny 13 inch model flew 80 yards be fore the battery gave out, larger versions have had every problem you can think of, basically they didn't meet my standards and were destroyed ... one took to the air and was destroyed when the fan came apart, ripping it's way through the side ... it was close, currently thinking about trying one more time ... twin EDF 1/10th scale ...
