Pictures from Flying Legends Arrivals Day 2001

A-26 landing

Mustang side view
The blue-nosed Mustang. The story is, that the blue used to be lighter in colour. Upon finding out that surplus blue paint had been used on the toilet block at the airbase, the current owners colour-matched the paint from the bricks, and repainted the Mustang in the darker blue we see her in today!
