Valley view in sepia, Rockhound State Park, Deming NM, February 20, 2008
As an experiment I made a sepia version of the image I used on the February 20th page. I think it looks pretty good in sepia. Tomorrow I'm going to try one in black & white .

Norden Bombsight training at Deming NM
During the Second World War, Deming was again the designated location for a training base. This time, the Deming Army Air Base was established east of town to train young airmen in the use of the secret Norden bombsight. The trainees were processed in groups of 500 every 6 weeks, and they flew their missions in the 150 AT-11 Beechcraft trainers, designated the Kansan, each armed with up to 10 practice bombs.
