Jack Croul's. And us photographers were in the bar having a nice cold late afternoon beer when it taxiied in and parked outside, so it will have to remain unphotographed until later in the weekend! :drinkers:

Patience is a virtue, Roger (and it was a very nice, cold beer!)

A couple more for you, Jack. The narrator mentioned that it was due for a repaint later in the year - any idea what the scheme is likely to be?

Jeff's making all new fairing for it. He's going to remove the tail markings and touch up the wing where the repair was to make it look nice. Not sure on the scheme yet. I'm helping along with that one. Possibly 9th FS 49th FG or possibly the 430th FS 474th FG. Nothing is for sure except it won't be OD/gray.

Thanks Jack. I look forward to seeing what scheme they come up with.
Will they use Behr paints for it? :lol:

A couple more for you.............
