Thats Hal (forget the last name) on the left and Ollie Fraser on the right.  They are standing in front of N494B while it is parked at Palo Alto Airport.  This picture was taken in March of 1994.  These fellows are (if I remember correctly) retired Lockheed electrical engineers and are responsible for the wonderful panel that N494B has.

This is a polaroid picture that I found in the POH of N494B.  Its inscribed with "Ralph Phillips: previous owner", in (I guess) Ollie's handwriting.   I know nothing more about it than that.

If you know anything about Ralph, I would be glad to hear it.  For that matter, If you know anything about the history of N494B, I would be glad to hear it.  A half century old aircraft has to have some tales (even some that arn't in the log books).
