Pulled St Pete out for some fresh air. Love the lighter color in a little more light.
Amazing how much L380 changes in different lighting. Just like the ocean.

Right on Breck, I dig that about this color as well. Ironically, I grew up in St. Pete and conducted a lot of flight training out of PIE years ago. Don't recall ever seeing the bus but certain it was likely prior to my frequency there. I've enjoyed your build thread. |

Oh sweet! Thanks. I'd love to see some pictures of it in action. I heard they took it out of service in the late70's or early 80's. The color code was originally L512. It was white on white when I got it. So I'd guess it was velvet green L512 at the airport. _________________ BreckSkier

Not even started on it yet.
I'm building one more before I start on this one.
I could only hope it's as awesome as that beauty in that previous post. _________________ Looking for SO34 parts.

I'll be in St Pete next week and plan to stop by the airport museum to see what I can find. Here is St Pete on a neighborhood test ride... Progress is being made, almost real road ready.
