Oddly enough, the last time I visited 57-0308 a few weeks ago, it looked like she'd been repainted recently.

Compare to this view from July 10, 2014 (which is admittedly of her other side, but it'll do):

I searched for news stories about who might've done it, but no luck; there's a community college on site with an aviation maintenance program, so it could have been them, or it could have been ABX Air.

How interesting. We just repainted our F-101 (70412) in the very same livery.

Looks good! Maybe it doesn't need any help...maybe a better location perhaps...

I did ping the USAF Museum to see about that other birds that could use some care...
