Where and when, or "the way we were", or...., something from the 914 archives Options

Those in the picture can comment, but since they were "there", they can't participate in the "when and where" answer, (unless there is proof of memory loss; are you paying attention, Pat Garvey?)

And to keep it within 914 World parameters, any photo that you choose to post should have a 914 somewhere in the pic. Also, there should be some kinda hint where the event might have taken place, a geographic landmark, skyline, historic venue, or perhaps just the scope of the picture might hint at where and when. A picture of a flock of 914s on some indescript parking lot isn't what we're looking for here, unless they're gridded with with some 917s and RSKs with the Chicago skyline off in the distance.

First pic....

To help place the locale of the 914 group shown, I'll add a couple of photos showing what was going on in the background........

That was Parade in (I think) 86 at DFW airport. The building in the background is the Simuflite building where they do pilot training on the simulators. I applied for a job there at one time.


That was the first parade I ever saw. Betty and I were not entrants, but we were there walking around looking at the cars. The Concours was on the golf course, and I remember a White 914 won. It stuck with both of us because we remember the owner wiping out the INSIDE Of the tailpipe before the judging.

Am I right?????

I think you are thinking of the Reston Parade. A silver 914 won (Cole Scrogham) ...I won't go into that one!

We all wipe out the insides of our tailpipes! I prefer to use "special" ultra large Q-tips, like the proctologists use. They go really deep! Kinda makes your ass pucker when you use them.
