Appendix A1 Excerpts from AFI 84-103, Para. 7.3 through 7.3.4.7

When repairing and restoring aerospace vehicles and support equipment, it is imperative to preserve their historical integrity. Use methods outlined in the appropriate Technical Order (T.O.) Dash 2 maintenance and erection manual and the T.O. Dash 3 structural repair manual. Do not inflict any damage on the airframe without MAJCOM/HO approval. Make changes that compromise authenticity only to enhance the long-term preservation of items displayed outdoors; any changes or alterations must be reversible. Use AF Form 3581, Static Display Aerospace Vehicle Maintenance Log1, to record all preservation and restoration actions.

At a minimum, keep items from deteriorating further. Perform limited disassembly of the vehicle and selected disassembly of components. Thoroughly inspect the aircraft and locate, identify, and remove all areas of corrosion. Make sure the item is clean and free from dirt, debris, carbon, and other contaminants. Apply a corrosion-preventative chemical film as specified in the appropriate technical order to all surfaces, reassemble all components and items, apply final chemical coating, and protect it from the elements while it awaits restoration.

Restore aerospace vehicles to original manufacturer's or operational appearance for the period depicted. Systems need not be operational. Interior areas may be left unrestored but must be in same condition as received. The work need not conform to airworthy standards. Repair all damage. Strip, clean, brighten, coat with a corrosion preventative and give a final finish coat to the airframe.

Damaged or missing components may be remanufactured to less than original or airworthy standards.

Note: Radioactive materials may have been used in the construction of aerospace vehicles.2 Follow the procedures in Chapter 9 for dealing with radioactive components before doing any work on an aerospace vehicle. Fulfill all local bioenvironmental requirements.

MAJCOM/HO (or senior historian for DRUs and FOAs) approves color, markings and insignia (CMI) packages. The requesting unit will be responsible for development of a package that includes the current paint scheme, the proposed paint scheme and a justification for the change. All research associated with any proposed CMI packages will be conducted by the requesting unit. Units may paint aircraft to represent another aircraft of the same series and model with the written permission of the MAJCOM/HO.

Do not compromise authenticity by adding spurious names, logos, nose art, or other identifying features that violate the historical accuracy of the CMI. Do not compromise CMIs for reasons of personal edification. Do not mix markings from a variety of aircraft, i.e. using the nose art from one aircraft, the serial number of another and unit codes from a third. Ensure historical accuracy in the placement and style of markings being applied, keeping in mind the "window" or "moment" of history being represented. Fully document the markings being applied to static display aircraft.

2 Radioactive swipes were previously conducted by bioenvironmental and maintained on AF Form 3583.
