The flightline of Chicago’s busy O’Hare International hasn’t always been clogged with airliners; there was a time the base was home to interceptor squadrons of the USAF. This photo shows the Air Force side of the field in transition: the 42nd Fighter Interceptor Squadron (FIS) and the 63rd FIS are trading places, but not planes. The 63rd has just arrived, and the 42nd is on its way to Pittsburgh Airport. The planes bear the markings of the 63rd, but they are pretty much all former 42nd birds. The Air Force does things like that.
Bonus jets include F-89s and a very brand new F-102.
