I would rather see the decal on a bird in the air than no decal on something dead and stuck behind a chain gathering dust.

I would rather see the most authentic restoration possible. Whether it is static or flying. No dig meant at the CAF, I am just not a fan of anything that takes away from the original markings of the aircraft. And steve static isn't dead.

I've don't have any decent pictures of this bird, as she was parked pretty tight for photos and a quick shade magnet.

The paint job, along with the fact that it's an A model, suggests that it is an old Southern Air Transport bird...but no antennae farm on the back. Any history on this one?

Here's a couple from our flight home from Madera. Bernie Vasquez was the Jelly Belly pilot, Jerry Anderson and Mike DeCastro were the photo pilots.
