Heading to the paint shop today, don't bother asking what paint scheme she'll wear next! Today was the last day to get ANY shots of it in September Pops livery! Enjoy!

This is sad news, a once beautiful racer turned into just another boring sea fury with a 3350 flying at maybe 280mph at airshows. Yipee :P
If that comment pisses anyone off, I am sorry for that in advance. I am really bummed out that with a foul swoop 3 top racers were retired. I am also really bummed out that Howard wont be racing his sea fury or bearcat anymore. Thats 5 famous and well loved planes gone in a couple years.

I wonder if the aircraft will come with any hidden 'art' as the 911 scheme had...

Michael...you can't post a comment like that without sharing with us what the "old" hidden art was!

Don't be sorry. These ac achieved more fame and recognition as racers than they ever would have as war-wearies or ever will restored to stock. It's almost an affront to their identities.

It will suck if it does not race anymore, but that paint job was one of the ugliest things ever put on an airplane.

Re: Adios Stork!

Mike's dad was a co-pilot on a B-24 during WWII. Mike's mom and the pilot's wife were both expecting to give birth during the month of September so the bomber was named September Pops and the two storks carrying bombs were the nose art. Mike's dad's name was John, therefore, JB is on the tail.

Just my guess...
