I dropped by the Oklahoma Museum of Flying yesterday while in Oklahoma City. I went to see the new paint on our old Skyraider. While it breaks my heart to see her in somebody elses hanger, she sure did look good and appears to be in first class condition. They've added a few things and changed a few things since she left Washington and I'm glad to live close to her again. This gives me a reason to go to the big city more often!

Larry Butler told me that the feds had been to the hanger a while back to ask them about the tea party video!

Is he still banned for life from Reno? Or was it just from the T-6 class?

The Skyraider looks great!
Last year I email Dr Hisey a bunch of photos of 188 in this
scheme and the earlier solid blue "Mama Bear" of VAW-11.
I never heard back from him hope he got them and they were of some value.
The squadrons listed on the pylon are cool but there is no VAC-11
it's actually VAW-11 which was earlier VC-11.

Good looking paint job; just saw the write-up in AC about it.
