A newly repainted T-38 Talon is parked near the runway. Air Combat Command approved the proposal to have all T-38s at Beale AFB repainted to a glossy black. The repainting took place at Holloman AFB, New Mexico. The aircraft was a flat black which took 13 coats of paint. The new paint requires only one coat and is much easier to clean. The performance is improved because the plane is lighter. The wheel wells are also repainted to white. All aircraft are to be repainted by the end of the year. The first repainted aircraft arrived on January 18, 1995

The objects in this collection are from The U.S. National Archives and Defense Visual Information Distribution Service. The U.S. National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) was established in 1934 by President Franklin Roosevelt. NARA keeps those Federal records that are judged to have continuing value—about 2 to 5 percent of those generated in any given year. There are approximately 10 billion pages of textual records; 12 million maps, charts, and architectural and engineering drawings; 25 million still photographs and graphics; 24 million aerial photographs; 300,000 reels of motion picture film; 400,000 video and sound recordings; and 133 terabytes of electronic data. The Defense Visual Information Distribution Service provides a connection between world media and the American military personnel serving at home and abroad. All of these materials are preserved because they are important to the workings of Government, have long-term research worth, or provide information of value to citizens.
