Beautiful images as always, Fred !

Why would they need, or want to, remove the canopy, only to replace it with another canopy, especially since the original is just sitting in a lot?

One of the guys demilling the aircraft felt that the sky blue was the best fit for the aircraft and painted it

during a bright dry day it is a great color...but at night, not so much...


Grumman wanted it Grey or Black and I think it works better..... Here is a night shot after the canopy change





Thanks for all the kind words guys!

Nice work. By the that is where I use to work, so I use to see Felix all the time. I definitely need to take some night shots as well.

thanks for the explanation Fred. I thought it had something to do with the canopy itself, not the color they painted it.

No problem...in that last picture you can see the blue "original" Canopy behind the aircraft
