"PIG PEN"
Pig Pen had gotten a fresh, nearly black, paint job in
mid-1970.
The crewchief hadn't quite gotten around to re-painting
all the appropriate numbers.
I flew incognito nearly for two months.
Real late one night the Scout Platoon leader, (the unpopular
one who shall remain nameless) ordered the fairly drunk crewchief out of
his bunk and to,
"Get down to the flight line and put some numbers on
Pig Pen! Right now"!!
So the crewchief did what he was told.
On the first attempt he applied the number "67" which
wasn't supposed to be included.
That explains the Zinc Chromate "Strike over".
As you can see by the mud on the "Dog House" and "Green
House" this picture was taken sometime later.
Living up to its name, Pig Pen's numbers remained this
way until it was DEROSed in December
