Thanks for the heads-up! Bonus with that is a great color shot of Kittyhawk AK827/N1223N taken when it was "derelict at Pompano Beach Airport, 1960-1964" per the Registry (Scott, see if you can get permission to use it?).

Are we sure it isn't just colorized?

Found 2 other pics from the same flight in b&w. One of them here:

My spidey-sense is tingling the 'colorized' warning also.
