Painted now on BOTH sides as 57-2492 and on display right at the top of the southbound I-15 exit 277 to the airport with a T-33 and F-86. Going southbound out of town and taking that airport exit uphill the first thing I saw was that Six! Very cool! A big congrats to the 186th FW for those displays! Here's my favorite pic of the bunch I took. (Taken at dusk, Friday, 24 June 2005.) Mark

This is the best side view I got. It was dusk at the time so the other side didn't turn out as well lit. Mark

Great shots Mark. 57-2492 was the 456th Command Acft from 63 to 67, happy to see she is still commanding attention.

Well, I for one will always know that this is 069, once dubbed The Colonel's Love Machine. I'm happy to see her looking so fit and well and proud! Especially given the shabby treatment she received here at The Griff.
(but they did keep that butt-ugleeee G-Buff on display - some people have no taste!)

It's sad to see the designation change, I painted 069 for the static display at Griffiss.
