[R-390] blue striper

[rbethman]

Lee,

Yes, a number of them are in hands that have or are restoring them.

I still cringe when I look at the front cover of one edition of Aviation 
Week & Space Technology with hundreds of B-52s cut up and left to be 
observed by Russian satellite.

These type of "scenes" are repeated with all to great frequency.
