Selby Burch has been good in not painting any of his former 51s in 8th AF colors. Hopefully he'll stick to that recipe.

Old Crow?

I don't remember ever posting or saying what paint Selby wanted, as far as I know the paint is staying, but then again how would I know, I'll leave it to the expert.

Gotta love this site.

I don't think he was being serious.

And neither are the inevitable posts about shark mouths and invasion stripes...

Gary, it's an inside joke for this site -- it's based on some people who are irritated that so many Mustangs have been restored as "Old Crow" when there are so many other significant paint schemes that aren't represented.

FWIW, the Iraqi Air Force is abbreviated "IZAF". The Israeli Air Force is "IAF".
