Why is it marked : '' ARMY '' ?

To show good taste.

There was a Canberra, the "fishbowl" version, that sat at Melbourne Airport for years; it had British markings with NAVY on the sides. It was abandoned. They finally got tired of it and auctioned it off. I think the Valiant Air Command Museum ended up with it.

I recall an article in Air Progress in the early 1970's said there were 114 privately owned jet fighters in the USA. I wonder how many there are now. Collings also has a flying F-100, Mig-15, Mig-17 and Mig-21 among others. In the early 90's the Polish were offering surplus Migs for $5000 each.
