Warbirds Still in Civil Configuration/Paint Schemes

[K5DH]

When I visited NAS Wildwood (New Jersey) Museum a couple of years ago, they were working on an ex-Canadian fire bomber TBM Avenger that was still wearing its fire bomber colors. I don't know what it looks like today. They also have a very nice TBM restored in period USN markings on display.

There are C-47s, Convair twins (C-131, T-29), Twin Beeches (C-45, SNB, JRB), C-54s, C118s, HU-16s, dH Beavers, dH Otters, and others out there wearing civilian paint. Many of them still work for a living.
