neu Posted March 19, 2007 Author Share Posted March 19, 2007 I offered to write an article about "Christine" to one of our Aviation Magazines, actually the biggest one. I'm wondering if anyone wants to contribite to it with ideas, photos, etc. As it's still about the restoration, I do it for free, I just want people to know about this jet, and all the efforts and steps taken to save her.

neu Posted March 20, 2007 Author Share Posted March 20, 2007 I started to put together the structure of the article about Saving Christine, so here's a list what photos I plan to have, please let me know if you can help me with these. * Photos of 159600 in the early years / other units * At least one photo where Christine is still in service like this from the OBA website: http://www.ov-10bronco.net/Pix/MemorialAir..._on_ramp_01.jpg * At least one photo where she's unloaded from the C-5A like this: http://www.ov-10bronco.net/Pix/MemorialAir..._hodgson_01.jpg * At least one photos of showing the status as she was delivered like this: http://www.airliners.net/open.file/1180752/M/ Please understand that I cannot pay for the photos, the article goes for free, it's part of our non-profit "Save Christine" project. Obviously everybody will be properly credited. Probably I can put together one more small article when she's on display later, and we can announce it in the magazine! I think I can arrange it. Please let me know if you can contribute with any of the listed photos! Greetings, neu :) www.deploymentproductions.com Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Brian P: Fightertown Decals Posted March 21, 2007 Share Posted March 21, 2007 (edited) Neu - you're welcome to use any of the couple pictures I forwarded you for the project.

neu Posted July 20, 2007 Author Share Posted July 20, 2007 Hi there! My article about saving Christine has been released in the July Issue of "Aranysas" (Golden Eagle). Thanks for all helping in this! The income of the article will go to OBA. I've found someone who would translate it for me to proper English, so I could submit it to an international magazine as well. Please let me know of anyone who provided the photos have objection against it! Of course, the income of that one too, would go to OBA. Please see details, and photos of the article here if you're interested: http://www.arcforums.com/forums/air/index....howtopic=126123 Greetings, neu :blink: www.deploymentproductions.com Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Brian P: Fightertown Decals Posted July 20, 2007 Share Posted July 20, 2007 Congrats on the article!! It looks great. I really hope that you can get it translated to english. I'd love to read it, and one of those pictures looks familiar. :) Great job!! :blink: Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Bulldog 09 Posted July 31, 2010 Share Posted July 31, 2010 I was wondering how has "Christine " Settled in how is she doing/faring ... ;) Hey Holmes, She is doing well. I am the plane captain for her along with Scooby and a F-4D over at the museum. We are waiting on the stenciling from VFA-31 so that we can give her a new coat of paint, not that she really needs it. I will try and post some pictures here soon of her. Dave Fassett Quote Link to post Share on other sites
