Hard Work

Post by armydriver »

I just finished putting a new coat of paint on my old truck. That is a lot of hard work for an old man, and especially in 90+ temps. I have decided to go back with the Army Air Corps markings she originally had when I got her. Air Training Command, Kelly Field. I just will not have her flight line yellow. That is too much originality for me.

I just got back from a few days of R&R and will start with the markings today. Just as soon as I get the white marking on her I will post some photos of the old lady. She looks good with the new paint job.
