Why would you shame the BT like this?

[Paul Krumrei]

Ouch, those colors are just not doing it for me.

I don't mind it that much, but let's face it the BT's look best in natural metal.

I remember seeing a pic once of a BT that was being used as a hack by some outfit in the CBI, and although it was a b&w pic the airplane looked somewhat similiar to this one.

(Heck - parts of mine are purple!)

...because the owner can't afford a Mustang to paint in those colors!

[Jack Cook]

It's a helluva lot nicer than mine

[mustangdriver]

Ha HA I hear you Jack

HA, I know the guy who restored this, in fact he did it in our hangar. I don't have anything nice to say about him or the aircraft. It appears that it has since changed hands.

Now that I look at the picture more closely it appears to be... green on the bottom?!

Far out...

I like aircraft with the 'olive drab' paint. They look more authentic. Although you see most BT-13's in NMF I am sure some were painted in Olive drab over Natural Gray during WWII. In fact I have seen pictures of them like that.

Maybe it's supposed to look like a P-66?

We had a nice BT that was recently restored come to the Watsonville show last spring: http://www.sfahistory.org/wtsvSNVnew.jpg

Color blindness?

[gregv]

[tom d. friedman]

i guess my taste is in my mouth....... i don't mind it at all.

[JBoyle]

I've seen worse...much worse.
