Here is a picture of #1 in her original first paint, from 1987. CDR Gil Rud was her first pilot. Rud went on to command both a carrier and TopGun, and now works for Boeing in the Super Hornet program.

is that the plane for sale? ... I got to see them pretty close (closer than they allow now) at two shows around 1985 and 1986 or so ... maybe 1987 ... I wonder if that plane was flying then ... both times were at Richards-Gebaur home of the 442md (?) A-10 wing in those days ...

at another show they were flying that white F-15 with the canards and red and blue stripes IIRC ... I've never seen another Eagle painted that way ...
