Re: FG-1D Bu 92050 Race #94 is on the move...

When I clicked on this thread I must admit that I didn't fully read the title and somehow thought that a former "F2G" was being restored to airworthy condition. Ooops. We can dream, can't we? :axe:

With respect to paint schemes, I do like the idea of having a race scheme applied. It would definitely stand out among the crowd as others have pointed out here.

Bob Mitchum brought the airframe to Reno in 1967 in relatively stock FG-1D configuration but blew the engine on final approach of his arrival flight.

And here it is at Jeffco in Denver back in 1992. Bob Axtell took the time off to let me see it when I visited Colorado that winter.
