Alberta Aviation Museum Starfighter update and plea for info

Tue Jul 02, 2013 3:34 pm

Good afternoon everyone

The Roll out date will be set tomorrow, based on a series of meetings to
make sure everything will be ready.

It has been a challenge.

Quick update and a plea for some help

The Starfighter wings, horizontal, tip tanks, underwing tanks and nose are
being painter as we speak back to the 1980 Cold Lake colours.

Parts should start returning lake this week and early next week.

Final fuselage polishing will be completed by this Sunday (July 7th)

But we could use a little help

All colours have been confirmed and we have all the information on the 1980
markings except (2)

Would anyone have the dimensions of the 417 Squadron emblems on the air
intakes and the Cold Lake flash at the top of the Vertical stabilizer.

Markings and colours have been a challenge.
Reference books have not always matched Canadian Forces information or pictures.
The last mystery seems to be the (2) emblems above...we have pictures, but would really like the actual dimensions to get it right.

Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you
