Goody!

As I said earlier, I really love the camouflage schemes that were employed by the Central American nations. Ross Grady used to fly a former Bolivian Cavalier Mustang to many airshows here in the States and I always liked seeing it in its original camo.

I think I took photos of that machine in the 1980s so I should have them somewhere. At the time it was registered C-GMUS but has since found a new owner and was repainted in U.S. markings.
