Absolutely Wendy! I already approved your account.

Thanks Wendy, great info.

This patch was designed by Jerry Roth. He was also responsible for that great mural that used to be in the alert barn's lobby and the famous lithograph print. Great artist!

I have a photo I took of the under side of 236's wing after both jets landed. It has the imprint of 010's nose cone and is probably the only photo of it taken. I'd love to share it here, with the administrator's permission, of course. It's part of these plane's common history!

There's my baby! I crewed her from '78 - '80! She was a thing of beauty!

shot this from the top of the alert barn...

Roy I remember how much you hated this paint. Oil soaked into the paint permanently staining it. Looked like crap after a few weeks.

Thanks Darrell

Thanks Darrell that great info

59-0069 only bore this paint job for a short period of time in honor of our Chief of Maintenance who had once been the enlisted crew chief of 57-2463 (aircraft "07"). In fact, when this picture was taken, the left side was painted with 57-2492! When repainted for display, the "Big Sky Country" and "Montana" script was also changed to a more authentic font. Notice that the main and nose gear doors have not yet been installed.
