Bare metal can look very good, unfortunately B-HUK looked rather tired. I
suspect that it had been cleaned back to bare in preparation for a new coat
of paint.

B-HUH the one that came in the following day looked so much cleaner - but
not bare metal.

This guy is sitting up at Boeing's plant at PAE with an interesting
variation on the paint scheme.

Crappy shot, sorry... No better angle available. The B-52G belongs
to The Museum of Flight in Seattle, who have no room for it. It has
been at PAE for over two decades slowly fading. It has a small dent
in the trailing edge of the left wingtip that matches the one in my
head. Not having peripheral vision can be painful...

Wow, CP Air's Big Orange. Haven't seen those in yonks and had almost
forgotten them.
