That is a neat shot. I like the angle that it was shot from. Seeing that F-84 was one of my goals when I visited the museum earlier this month:

I haven't been there for about 5 years. Need to get back soon, a lot of new stuff in the last 5 years.

How did squadrons find the time and the manpower to do paint jobs like that?

It's beautiful. Thanks for taking them.

That has to be one of the nicest restored F-84's out there.

It is sure drawing the interest of visitors as well. Thursday evening, some 650 attended the dinner in the MFG gallery and the official ribbon cutting ceremony of the redone Korean gallery. I hear it was quite an event.

Friday morning on my volunteer shift, we had many Korean Veterans visiting the gallery. I talked to many and they were really impressed and thankful. All branches of the military.

Glad to see that the new Gallery is a hit.

In peacetime the birds only flew once or twice a week. But you're right, it is a busy paint scheme. I like it.
