Museum F-94 gets facelift
PETERSON AIR FORCE BASE, Colo. -- Jerry Shindall, a contractor with Enviro-Tech, Inc., applies detailed colors and markings to the Peterson Air and Space Museum’s F-94. The F-94 Starfire got a facelift Oct. 14-18, complete with fresh markings representing the 179th Fighter Interceptor Squadron, Minnesota Air National Guard, which operated the aircraft from 1957 to 1959. First flown in 1949, the Lockheed F-94 was used for air defense of the continental United States in the 1950s. Starfires were the U.S. Air Force's first all-weather jet interceptor.
