Thanks to the many professionals assigned to both the 62d AW & the 446th AW the museum’s “Ol’ Shakey” has that “off of the assembly line” look. As a result of the combined efforts of 39 skilled individuals, our C-124 was prepped, primed, and painted it’s original color scheme.

 A great big “Thank you” to the 62d Troop Carrier/Airlift Wing Association for their very generous contribution toward the purchase of the required paint.
