Another project that was started involved cleaning up the tow bar. It had sat outside for ages and badly needed a coat of new paint. So Big Mike volunteered to grind on it most of the day and prep it for a new coat of yellow. We plan to stencil USAF B-26K 64-17679 on it. He is also going to paint our blue practice bombs so they will be the appropriate OD with yellow stripes and the proper stenciled info on them. Next project will be to figure out how to build a collapsible tow bar that can hang in the bomb bay and go with us on trips. This one is far too big and heavy for that to happen. JR

Remember, one yellow stripe had TNT filler (explosive)
Two yellow stripes, Comp B filler
Three yellow stripes, Tritonal filler
