Don and Guy work on masking the right side the pilot
stripes on Saturday May 14th. They quickly learned what I went through
doing the other side. Not fun! Other 918 crewmember Jon Vlasak paid us
a visit and looks on. |

While I had the black paint out for the pilot stripes
I figured I'd better get the letter "F" painted on the nose before I forgot.
F is for "front". I guess this could get confusing... |

Masking just removed and the pilot is finally done.
Cut levers and air hose will be added later. |

Veteran letter and stripe masker Phil Orth (in the cap)
came down to help us out on Saturday May 21st. This was the big day

Waiting for the paint to dry. We decided to remove the
masking the next morning to avoid any mishaps with the paper sticking to
the new paint. |
