Shedding old skin
The paint on an F-86L Sabre is sanded off for primer to be applied during the refurbishment of the historic aircraft at the 23d Equipment Maintenance Squadron, fabrication flight hangar at Moody Air Force Base, Ga., June 6, 2012. With the help of several city and base agencies, the plane was relocated from downtown Valdosta to be restored and re-commemorated to the late U.S. Air Force Maj. Lyn McIntosh and the Flying Tigers heritage. McIntosh was born in Valdosta on October 11, 1946, and enlisted in the Air Force in 1969. He died April 25, 1980, during Operation Eagle Claw on a mission to rescue 52 Americans held captive in Iran. (U.S. Air Force photo by Senior Airman Eileen Meier/Released)
