The green canopy trim with white outline and green stripe on the tip of the vertical stabilizer are correct and signify the 555 TFS.

Contractor shall protect all landscaping adjacent to aircraft from damage. All damage caused by the contractor will be repaired or replaced by the contractor, at no additional cost to the government, within 10 days after identification/notification by the Contracting Officer. At the end of the workday clean and pick up area.

1.1.1 Preparation of Aircraft. Contractor shall assess aircraft for structural soundness and ensure previous paint, dirt deposits, residual oil/hydraulic fluid, biological soils, pest, and insect/bird nests etc. will be removed from aircraft as necessary. Contractor shall follow manufacturer's recommended instructions for preparation and painting of highest-grade Pittsburg Paint Group (PPG) Commercial Performance Coatings of 2K high solids urethane. Procedures found in PP&G Publication CA8200 Military and Defense Topcoats, and CA 8800 Paint Process Standard for Exterior Commercial Aircraft must be followed. Contractor shall inspect to ensure substrate is free of corrosion and solid prior to paint/primer. The contractor may find/discover various quantities of bird nests and debris found within the structure. The contractor shall remove all bird nests, debris, areas of corrosion and damage. The contractor shall repair or replace any panels or structural pieces that are damaged to include areas of corrosion, prepare the aircraft to a sound substrate per paint manufactures paint specifications prior to painting, and ensure to coat aircraft with primer as needed prior to painting. Painting shall not be performed on aircraft until sheet metal damage is repaired or replaced, corrosion and composite repairs are completed, primer applied, and aircraft maintenance discrepancies are completed. The aircraft is ready for paint once the exterior structure is repaired, prepped, and washed, the contractor will contact government personnel (10th Logistics Readiness Squadron (10 LRS) or Museum Specialist) to inspect aircraft prior to painting and government personnel will give email approval to move forward with painting. Paint scheme, colors, and pattern of aircraft shall simulate original specifications. Contractor shall ensure the painted/restored static displays have a smooth (semi-gloss) finish and all decals/markings are replaced as needed and in appropriate positions simulating original specifications. Contractor shall utilize PPG Commercial Performance Coatings of 2K AUE-360/AUE-3501 high solids urethane two-part paint. Paint shall present a semi-gloss appearance with no more than 1 in2 per 15 ft2 paint defects. Paint job shall sustain 3-year durability for protection against weathering, rust, cracking, and peeling.

1.1.2 Aircraft Maintenance Discrepancy Repairs. Maintenance repairs restore aircraft to their original unaltered or properly altered condition. Where repairs, alterations, or maintenance is performed, every effort shall be made to ensure repairs are comparable and similar in appearance and hardware. Screw applications are divided into three basic groups: structural screws, machine screws, and self-tapping screws; all can be used for static display aircraft repair. Bolts used in aircraft structures are general-purpose, internal-wrenching, or close-tolerance. Hardware used on aircraft are identified in AC 43.13-1B.

1.1.3 Bird Proofing. Install bird proofing securely to close openings and to prevent birds from landing on/in aircraft surfaces. Bird proofing can have a number of different processes depending on where the need is on the airplane, for example:

- Bird spikes are a long lasting, humane, nearly invisible low profile bird control product, used to protect numerous areas around an aircraft. Spikes deter problem birds from aircraft areas by presenting an unsuitable landing area and preventing birds from gaining footholds.

- The use of wire mesh around holes and openings is allowable.

- All installed bird proofing shall be secure and effective, closing off holes and remain humane.

- Bird proof aircraft is completed by screening, plugging or covering vents, nozzles, wheel wells, cowlings and cowl flap areas, intakes, air scoops, exhausts, aircraft stand, and engines.

- The government shall approve all bird-proofing solutions prior to installation.

1.1.4 Applying Adhesive and Screws. The contractor shall follow the instructions for adhesive and screw applications IAW AC 43.13-1B, Acceptable Methods, Techniques, and Practices, Aircraft Inspection and Repair, to make a satisfactory bonded joint spread the adhesive in a thin, even layer on both clean surfaces to be joined. It is recommended a clean brush be used and ensure all surfaces are covered. Spreading of adhesive on only one of the two surfaces not recommended.

Be sure to read and follow adhesive manufacturer’s application instructions. Additional use of self-tapping screws for bird proofing adds an increase support from the environment and high winds.

1.1.5 Guaranteed Workmanship. Contractor shall guarantee that completed repairs and paint remain in an acceptable condition for at least three years from acceptance of work by government personnel. The contracting office determines if re-performance is necessary. Re-performance shall be required if static display shows evidence of rust, peeling, flaking, cracking, dulling, oxidation, loose hardware, looseness of repair, and/or any other surface deterioration within three years from acceptance.

1.1.6 Performance Period. Contractor will have 300 calendar days to perform and complete requested work from the date of contract award. Contractor shall not work during scheduled events, to include parades. Dates will vary and the Purchase Order will specify the scheduled dates of the events.
