The damned contract says 68-16376. such an aircraft was never built. Government surplus folks may be wrong, records may be wrong. Jim Messinger of the museum board just told me to tell the 119th to stand fast till we read the data plate. He has the Kingston stuff under control. If it is OUR long lost ship, we will have the chance to make it a part of history. For our comrades living and dead. And as the former MO on those birds I will make sure it is right. We will use the Red outlined Gator symbol on the nose if all agree. Otherwise I'll put some gator patch on the nose and some others on the tailboom. This thing will be in the museum till it burns or falls in, so let's get it right.
Advise me boys.
