I loved Banta's plane as it was, this looks good too! Had no idea they were repainting it.

The aircraft was temporarily placed in these markings for the Boundary Bay Airshow, as they are (loosely) based on the same markings that this very aircraft had while it was in service with the RCAF when it was stationed at Boundary Bay with 111 Squadron.
