          How about a black board?

                I agree. I'm not sure it qualifies for this thread though. The color may have been some sort of very deep brown or purple -- I remember it as black but looking at pictures I'm not sure. !979 is a lomg time ago for my aging and sometimes altered brain cells, LOL. The owner's son posts occasionally on WIX as "Sully". He used to post here, but not for a while IIRC.

                  It was Black Enamel.

                    Thank you Sir! That makes me feel better about my brain cells...

                    It does look more black in these shots.

                        Definitely black, though it never actually raced like this...

                          Well it tried to race as a black airplane, saddest sight ever watching the gear retract sitting still on the ground.

                            Did that happen on the east end of the ramp? I remember seeing the P-38 on the ground, memory just a little foggy.
