I know they're gonna paint it...but I like the look it has now....
Kinda sort of thing I'd paint...
It's always great to see a vintage aircraft restored and this one has a story to tell. I'm very happy to see that the CAF will paint it in its D-Day paint scheme.
My computer: ABS Gladiator Gaming PC featuring an Intel 10700F CPU, EVGA CLC-240 AIO cooler (dead fans replaced with Noctua fans), Asus Tuf Gaming B460M Plus motherboard, 16GB DDR4-3000 RAM, 1 TB NVMe SSD, EVGA RTX3070 FTW3 video card, dead EVGA 750 watt power supply replaced with Antec 900 watt PSU.
Great story of a great find. Several articles have been run here in Dallas of this aircraft. We are losing our greatest generation but their legacy lives on.
