Hampton NH airport is surrounded by pine trees. For years we had a J-3
painted in Grasshopper colors; you just couldn't see it against the
ground when it was in the pattern and you were overhead.

Finally it dinged its wing, and the airport put a white "invasion
stripe" on that wing. What a difference!

A while later it got dinged again. We were all sorry that it wasn't
the other wing, so it would have two invasion stripes, but it remained
a one-striper till it got sold down the river.

all the best -- Dan Ford
