This will establish potential pollutant levels and objective measures of cleanliness that will need to be met before proceeding to full scale work.

5.5.2 Wash all exterior surfaces to be painted with Zinsser’s “Jomax House Cleaner & Mildew Killer” (product identifier 60101), a mildewcidal liquid house washing concentrate formulated to kill mold and mildew and remove dirt and stains on most exterior painted or non-porous surfaces without the need for scrubbing. Jomax will not damage painted surfaces and may be applied near plants and shrubs. It is recommended for cleaning aluminum siding and trim, along with other exterior surfaces. Mix in the proper proportions with bleach and water (80% water, 15% bleach, and 5% Jomax). Use immediately after mixing. The prepared Jomax solution remains effective for 3 hours after mixing.

5.5.3 Wash surfaces in a manner to prevent streaking. Apply with a tank-type garden sprayer, airless or chemical sprayer. Spray surfaces liberally and wait 5 minutes. Thoroughly rinse the treated surfaces and surrounding areas with large amounts of water. Any heavy mildew stains may require a second application. Textured surfaces may require light scrubbing. For best results, rinse surfaces with a pressure washer (follow manufacturer’s instructions for tip size and pressure setting).

5.5.4 Thoroughly rinse all surfaces and let dry before painting.

5.5.Apply one (1) primer coat of Sherwin-Williams DTM Bonding Primer as needed to ensure adhesion of the topcoat to substrate, followed by two (2) coats of Sherwin-Williams Pro Industrial DTM (direct to metal) Acrylic paint or “Sher-Cryl HPA (high performance acrylic) paint. Both are available in Semi-Gloss and Gloss sheens and can be tinted to match almost any color. Paint is not required to be airworthy.

5.5.4 No overspray, blisters, fish eyes, runs, sags, roughness, nor dirt inclusions.

5.5.5 All painting/decaling must match the approved color, markings, and insignia (CMI) package for the aircraft.

5.6 Vacuum or sweep the work area frequently to collect and contain stripping and painting debris. Collect and store the waste(s) in closed container(s) to prevent fires/spills/outdoor contamination.

5.7 Allow empty paint cans to dry before disposal.

5.8 The contractor will provide the HPC with 1 quart of each paint color with a material safety data sheet (MSDS).

F-100 AIRCRAFT MARKING SPECIFICATIONS

SECTION I. GENERAL

1-1. DEFINITIONS. The following are definitions of terms used when dealing with the painting and marking of USAF aircraft.

a. Air Force Standard Exterior Finish. This term applies to the type and color of the final top coating authorized and required by this technical order for application to the exterior surfaces of non-camouflaged USAF aircraft. This term does not include any of the markings or insignia usually applied over the final top coating or finish.

b. Special Purpose Exterior Finish. Refers to final coatings and approved paints or lacquers applied to specific portions of aircraft exteriors to provide for special needs.

c. USAF Standard Markings. These markings are mandatory for display on all USAF aircraft.

d. Special Purpose Markings. Exterior markings for aircraft other than the USAF standard markings, that are required for application, or may be authorized under certain circumstances, as stated in this technical order. Special purpose markings are varied in type and usage. They include various insignia, emblems, and symbols, whose need may vary with the differences in weapon system configuration and other pertinent circumstances.

e. Aircraft Unit Identification Markings. Alphabetic letter, numerical digits, or combinations of both, that may be displayed on both sides of vertical fins of designated combat and combat support aircraft primarily to allow ready air-to-air recognition. The use of these markings is rigidly controlled and their indiscriminate or arbitrary use is prohibited.

f. Decalcomania. Decalcomania is the process of transferring designs from prepared paper to another surface. A shortened version of the term is used for a mass-produced commodity art transfer or product label, known as a "decal". For the purpose of this technical order, decals are defined as a specially prepared film containing design, words, or numerals of polyester film, which may be transferred and permanently attached to aircraft or other Air Force equipment.

(1) Decals may be used in lieu of paint for all external and internal markings and insignia required by this manual where the contact surfaces are of sufficient smoothness to permit good adhesion, and provided that they are made of a non-reflective decal material.

SECTION II. STANDARD EXTERIOR FINISHES FOR USAF AIRCRAFT (F-100)

2-2. AIR FORCE STANDARD EXTERIOR FINISHES. All U.S. Air Force Museum managed aircraft and aerospace equipment assets (EXHIBITS) are exempt from the Air Force standard exterior finishes, other than color. The standard exterior finish for museum exhibits/static displays shall be environmentally friendly and approved for use by the installation environmental engineering office (CEV). Appropriate primers (if required) will be compatible with the finish coat used. Color, markings, and insignia (CMI) used will be those approved by the MAJCOM / National Museum of the United States Air Force Museum (NMUSAF). Our F-100D “Super Sabre” will be painted in the USAF’s Standard TAC camouflage scheme (1960s/80s) of FS 30219, Flat Sierra Tan / FS 34102, Flat Medium Green / FS 34079, Flat Dark/Forest Green on upper surfaces, with FS 36622, Camouflage Gray undersides. Refer to samples provided below for color match.

FS 30219, Flat Sierra Tan / FS 34102, Flat Medium Green / FS 34079, Flat Dark/Forest Green

FS 36622, Camouflage Gray

a. Direct-to-metal (DTM) acrylic coating, manufactured by Sherwin-Williams, is the standard exterior finish coating for all 107th displayed aircraft. It is water-based, provides a high level of adhesion, and is highly durable (7-8 years between refinishing) in extremely aggressive environments. It is resistant to common corrosion causes. It can be color-matched by a dealer to almost any Federal Standard (FS) color.

When this CMI was written, DTM paint was available in Eg-shel (low-gloss, eggshell, low sheen, satin, velvet) low to medium reflection when dry, as well as in Semi-gloss and Gloss sheens. Use Eg-shel (or, if available, an even flatter, less reflective sheen DTM paint) for painting camouflage colors.

Note: In early 2017, FS 595c was cancelled and color management for the US government was given to the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) and is now available as AMS-STD-595. Many of the colors that were added with FS 595c are now gone, and the current AMS-STD-595 baseline looks more like FS 595b with a few exceptions.

(1) DTM coatings deliver significant gains in application efficiency and cost savings by replacing multi-coat systems, which often include a pretreatment, primer, and topcoat all applied separately. Traditionally, a primer is needed for adhesion and primary corrosion protection. The topcoat provides weather and UV protection, plus aesthetic properties like color and gloss. Typically primers are epoxies, and topcoats polyurethanes.

(2) DTM includes paint and primer in one. It is applied directly to metal, ideally after only minimal surface preparation because it is designed to be applied in a single application. Adhesion, corrosion protection, and resistance to weathering are all provided in one coating, which saves steps and reduces drying time. It’s easy to apply by brush, roll, or spray, is non-toxic and meets the most stringent VOC regulations.

5-4. CAMOUFLAGE PATTERNS. Approved weapon system/camouflage pattern combinations are illustrated below.

F-100 Super Sabre USAF TO 1-1-4 Southeast Asia Camouflage

a. Aircraft Surfaces. The camouflage patterns shall be applied in accordance with the specific aircraft illustrations. The illustrations are intended as guides. Minor variations in pattern are acceptable; however, care should be taken that proportion and balance of the different colors are approximately the same as the illustrations. Boundaries between colors shall be irregular as illustrated and fade/feather into each other. Avoid sharp lines between colors.

b. Bottom Surfaces. Most camouflaged aircraft use a singular color on the underside of the fuselage, wings, horizontal stabilizer, and control surfaces as designed for the particular weapon system. The bottom color shall be brought up the sides of the fuselage to give the approximate side view appearance in accordance with the application illustration. The line between the underbelly color and the upper-surface pattern shall be an irregular, indistinct, counter-shaded area. A sharp line and any regular repeating pattern such as a scallop will raise the risk of detection and compromise the overall camouflage effect. On low wing aircraft, the bottom color on the fuselage is brought into the wing root to meet the bottom color under the wing.

c. External Components. External tanks, pods and other mounted equipment shall be camouflage painted to agree with the aircraft scheme. Unless otherwise specified, the lower third of the surface shall be the same as the bottom color for the aircraft and the upper surfaces shall be pattern painted as approved for the weapon system. The entire surface of this equipment and pylons may be all painted one uniform color to improve component interchangeability on different aircraft or on different positions on the same aircraft.

d. Radomes, Antennae, and Antenna Covers. Radomes and antenna covers should be over-sprayed with a regular coat of camouflage finish to make the camouflage effort complete.

e. Walkways. Walkway borders shall be applied to the upper surfaces of camouflaged aircraft in color FS 37038, Flat Black.

2-13. FINISH SYSTEM FOR ENGINE AIR INTAKE DUCTS/SCOOPS. The finish system for all engine air intake ducts/ scoops shall be FS 17925, Gloss White. The forward opening of the ducts/scoops shall be coated to blend with the exterior color of the aircraft (i.e., camouflage for a camouflaged aircraft) to a depth sufficient to ensure that the white cannot be seen from the immediate exterior (can anywhere from 1 to 3 feet). The paint system in the ducts/scoops should be inspected and touched up or repainted on the same basis as the exterior system. Refer to sample provided below for color match.

Gloss White, FS 17925

SECTION III. STANDARD MARKINGS AND INSIGNIA FOR CAMOUFLAGED USAF

AIRCRAFT

3-1. USAF STANDARD MARKINGS AND INSIGNIA. The following are the USAF standard markings and insignia for Air Force aircraft.

ITEM GENERAL LOCATION

National Star Insignia Wing and Fuselage “USAF’’ Marking Aircraft Wings “U.S. AIR FORCE’’ Marking Aircraft Fuselage Serial Number Aircraft Fuselage Aircraft Data Legend Aircraft Fuselage Aircraft Radio Call Number Aircraft Vertical Fin

3-2. Standard Decals. Decals may be used in lieu of paint for the following:

(4) Aircraft Serial Numbers. (See Appendix A)

(5) Radio Call Numbers.

(6) American Flag Markings.

(7) ARMAMENT placards.

(8) Standardized Grounding Marking.

Non-standard Decals. Decals for non-standard Air Force markings such as command or squadron insignia may be locally purchased.

a. National Star Insignia. The National Star Insignia will be installed on all USAF aircraft. The insignia shall consist of a FS 17875, Gloss Insignia White five-pointed star located within an FS 15044, Gloss Insignia Blue circumscribed circle. An Insignia White rectangle shall be located on each side of the star. The top edge of the rectangle shall form a straight line with the upper edges of the horizontally opposed star points. An FS 11136, Gloss Insignia Red horizontal stripe shall be centered in each end of the rectangle. A Gloss Insignia Blue border shall outline the entire insignia. Refer to sample provided below for color match.

(1) National Star Insignia on Aircraft Fuselage. The National Star Insignia shall be applied to each side of the aircraft fuselage, midway between the wing trailing edge and the leading edge of the stabilizer in a minia-turized configuration of 15 inches. The normal, standard-size star for typical USAF fighter aircraft is 25 to 30 inches. The specified star size is always the diameter of the circle circumscribing the star, and not the overall diameter including the blue border. This border is always 1/8 of the radius of the circle. So the overall dimension in this case is 15 inches plus 1/4 (2 x 1/8) of 7.5 inches, or 16.875 inches.

(2) National Star Insignia on Aircraft Wings. The National Star Insignia shall be applied on the upper surface of the left wing and on the lower surface of the right wing in a miniaturized configuration of 15 inches.

a. “USAF” Marking. The ‘‘USAF’’ marking shall not be applied to the wings. Instead, the “AF” portion will be placed immediately before the radio call number on the vertical fin in a miniaturized configuration 6 inches high.

4-6. Crew Marking. The names of pilot, crew chief, or other members of the flight/ground crew may be applied to the exterior of the camouflaged aircraft.

a. The names will be applied to the left side of the fuselage, near the pilot’s window and clearly visible from ground level. On our F-100, this marking is located on the left side of the fuselage directly beneath the windscreen, where a black rectangle outlined in white contained the pilot and crew chief’s names. The standard data block information was stenciled in flat black block letters underneath.

b. Vertical/block lettering (see figure A-4), not higher than 2 inches, shall be used for the marking. Paint letters in color FS 37875, Flat Insignia White, on a background rectangular block color FS 37038, Flat Black with an FS 37875, Flat Insignia White border/outline. Block size should only be that necessary to accommodate the information, 6 inches to 24 inches high, consistent with size of aircraft.

c. Markings may contain first names or initials and last names. Reference photos (below) show almost identical crew markings, but with a green rectangle, not black. The white outline was also thicker as in photo on the right and bottom. Example data for a 107th TFG F-100 crew marking is as follows:

PILOT 1/LT HARRY W. ROBERTS JR.

C/C SSGT CARTER

c. Serial Number Markings - Aircraft. The aircraft serial number marking is included in the Aircraft Data Legend marking.

d. Data Legend Marking - Aircraft. The Aircraft Data Legend reflects the owning military component, the aircraft type, model and series, aircraft serial number, and the grade fuel to be serviced in the aircraft. Marking will be in vertical/block lettering (see figure A-4), not higher than 2 inches, in color FS 37875, Flat Insignia White.

(1) Aircraft Data Legend marking follows:

EXAMPLE:

U.S.A.F. MODEL F-100C-1-NA

A.F. SERIAL NO. 54-1767
