The gray is on the bottom and the camo will start going on in about 45 minutes (about 3:00 CST)

Is a first flight scheduled yet?

Owen, she's already a well maintained flyer. We flew her into Midland 3 weeks ago. She'll fly out to Ellington as soon as she's done at the paint shop. Shouldn't be much longer.

Bad choice of words, sorry...I should have

The public roll-out will be on March 29th at Ellington Field. That is when Bud Day will be there to take a flight in his F-100 again. We plan on flying the F-100, F-4, TA-4, T-33 and UH-1 Huey that day. I am sure there will be some training flights taking place before that, but nothing that is hard scheduled yet.

Actually Ken, the first flight in the new paint scheme will be when in flies out of Midland for Houston :mrgreen:

Any idea when she will be leaving Midland? I missed the arrival by about 10 minutes. I sure would like to see it leave. I caught a glimpse of it earlier in the hangar and it looks pretty much done as far as I could tell.

Rick and Chris are out there now doing the pre-flight. As of right now the plan is fly out tomorrow morning. If you stop by today they may know a more accurate time. They are hoping for something around 10 AM.
