Viewing Album:  Old-school UP
 
By:TS _Illinois
Dates:6/15/1982 - 10/22/1989
Album Info:Going through scans of some of my old Kodachrome slides, I turned up more than a few UP photos - some close to home, others a little farther away. One thing they had in common though: they were all from before the days of GEVOs and Dash-9s. Here are a few from bnck in those days. I will add more as I get them cleaned up.
