Man that is going to look so much better! The "bumblebee" scheme is a tad overdone. <-- understatement

I loved the Bumblebee scheme, but it will be awesome to see an actual 6th S.O.S. Skyraider vet in its original markings. Glad they're not using glossy paint, too. It will be a head turner when complete!

If I'm not mistaken, that picture was taken inside the Delta Air Lines paint hangar in Atlanta. :)

It is. Delta is doing the repaint. They've really gotten a reputation for helping out museums with doing painting.

The USAF paint job won't be complete until the Collins 37R antenna is installed. :wink: :lol:

The antenna is here and will go on when we have time to rework the mount.
