STATEMENT OF WORK (SOW)

STATIC DISPLAY AIRCRAFT A-26 RESTORATION

29 July 2021

I. DESCRIPTION OF SERVICES:

a. The A-26 located at the Hurlburt Field Air Park shall be restored to present a museum quality appearance in accordance with (IAW) AFI 84-103 United

States Air Force Heritage Program. The contractor shall perform necessary disassembly of the aircraft and components in effort to locate and remove all areas of external and internal corrosion. Make sure the item is clean and free from dirt, debris, carbon and contaminants. Perform sheet metal repairs to damaged and corroded areas. Perform corrosion treatment to all external surfaces as specified in the appropriate technical order(T.O) to all surfaces, reassemble all components and items, apply final chemical coating treatment to prevent corrosion from spreading, protect it from the elements while the aircraft awaits restoration, and provide color matching high gloss polyurethane paint touch-up maintenance.

II. AIRCRAFT PAINTING PROCESS SEQUENCE OF EVENTS: The Government will provide the Contractor with the paint scheme and paint types by military specification. The Contractor shall purchase adequate amounts of sheet metal, extrusion tubing, hardware, sealant, paint and any other materials needed to comply with the requirements of this SOW.

a. Aircraft cleaning: The Contractor shall thoroughly clean the aircraft exterior painted surfaces, wheel wells, and landing gear struts IAW TO 1-1-691. Then thoroughly inspect the aircraft to determine the soundness the paint film. Areas of deteriorated paint as indicated by faded, oxidized, loose, or peeling paint, contamination from hydraulic oil, engine oil, fuel or other fluids, or where bare metal is showing, shall be stripped. Approved cleaning agents are: MIL Spec

87937, Type II and MIL Spec 85570, Type IL.These cleaners are water dilutable and biodegradable materials, and are the primary cleaners for washing the exterior of aircraft.

b. Corrosion removal: The contractor shall remove all areas of corrosion, from the exterior of the aircraft, including: aircraft wheels, wings wheel wells, propellers, rotor blades, landing gear, external fuel tanks, and historically required accessories. The contractor shall remove all areas of corrosion, from the interior of the aircraft, including: substructure, tubing, seats, windows, and bulkheads. Hurlburt field Wing corrosion Manager will be contacted prior to completion to verify all corrosion has been removed.

c. Corrosion repair: The Contractor shall repair these areas by Patching, or insertion of repair members IAW applicable structural repair manuals. Wing

Corrosion Manger has the historical T.O’s a copy can be provided to the contractor. Special attention must be made to Wing attachment fittings to ensure structural integrity of the A-26. In the event a part is unable to be repaired, a replacement part must be manufactured and installed by the contractor. Spare parts will not be provided by the Government. All old parts shall be returned to the Government. All repaired areas will be treated with

Alodine, and primer to ensure that future corrosion is prevented.

d. The entire aircraft shall be painted to the original paint color scheme (See

APPENDIX A). The Contractor shall restore the aircraft to the original operational appearance for the period of November 1969 (See APPENDIX A)

Wheel wells and landing gear struts, excluding bare metal areas, using abrasive paper no coarser than 120 grit, 3M Corp medium grade aluminum oxide surface conditioning disc, or A-A-58054, Type I, Class I, Grade C abrasive mat.

Scuff sanding shall include roughing up 100% of the painted surface, removal of oxidized paint, and feathering of all flaked paint. It is not intended to remove a sound paint system. A sounds paint system is one free of oxidation, bubbles, pits, and surface/sub-surface corrosion. Light scuffing is sufficient for adhesion of the primer tie-coat to a sound topcoat. Do not sand through to bare metal, unless necessary to remove corrosion as damage to the aircraft may occur. No hazardous chemicals are authorized or will be used for removing the aircraft top coat of paint. Additional information can be found in TOs 1- 1-8, and 1-1-691.

e. Once scuff sanding of the aircraft is complete and prior to application of any type paint, the contractor shall wipe down the aircraft with isopropyl alcohol, Mil-Specification TT-

1-735. The solvent used during the wipe down operation shall not be allowed to evaporate from the surface, but shall be wiped from the surface with a dry, clean cloth.
