5) Bird Proofing - The Government requires bird proofing "Mesh" be used to block birds from making nests in any holes, but that the mesh be hidden from normal view as best as possible. The Government does not want Bird Spikes on any areas that would detract from the aesthetic view of the display. Ref PWS para 1.2.3, "the government shall approve all bird proofing solutions prior to installation."

6) Paint Around the Engine Cowl? - On most F-100's that were flying, any paint around the titanium engine cowl/shields would burn off due to heat. In our Color, Markings, and Insignia (CMI) package we call out that the titanium sections of the engine cowl/shields will be unpainted to preserve the look of a flying combat aircraft. This will mean that the current Silver paint will need to be removed, and nothing repainted in those sections. Ref PWS Para 1.2, CMI Package for F-100, 53-1352 (The CMI will be delivered to awardee, cannot release due to licensing issues)

7) What's under the current paint (i.e. Primer)? – Attached are some pictures of Paint flakes from the static display, and also some Scrapping to reveal whats underneath. It looks like there is a combination of Paint layers/ Primers, to include what looks like Zinc Chromate primer.
