No, silver to white? No, don't do it. Silver is the color for a 911.

It might just be my monitor, but by looking at his car since he's removed the rocker panels and trim, it might HAVE been white earlier as I seem to see a lighter color under there.

Tucson is home to Davis-Monthan Air Force Base and the Aerospace Maintenance and Recovery Center (AMARC) as well as several private aircraft scrapyards. Surplus and retired aircraft from all branches of the military are stored here due to the ideal climate (warm and dry). Aircraft sent to AMARC are processed for long-term storage in the Arizona desert. Sensitive instruments and high-value items are removed for safekeeping, and the airframes are drained and purged of fuel, oil, and hydraulic fluid. Windows, doors, and hatches are sealed with protective material, but vents and aircraft undersides are left open to avoid condensation. Most aircraft transferred to this facility are "cannibalized" (stripped for spare parts) and eventually scrapped, but some of the transport aircraft such as the older C-130s are made available to other federal agencies for nonmilitary purposes such as firefighting. In the past some of these aircraft were offered for sale to private parties. However, concerns that this would provide a cheap source of transportation for drug smugglers have resulted in most of the older transports being scrapped instead.

More here.

If thats the bone yard, like I think it is, the Air Force utilizes all of those retired aircraft. They can be turned into drones or used for destructive inspection. Also, if the Air Force is running low on certain parts, the depots can call up the bone yard and scrap parts from it.

I have an empty lot next to my house. It is so overprice it will never sell. I've always thought it would look good with an F-4 sitting there.
