I wonder, though, if those are the actual paint colors that the museum used on the Aerobee display round during restoration/preservation work on it, but not the same paint colors that Aerojet applied to flight rounds? (The all-white and white-with-black-fins paint schemes on the display rockets in the outdoor museum at the nearby White Sands Missle Range are in no way representative of the paint schemes on the flight rounds. The Astrobee-F and Iris display rounds at Wallops Island also have overall white paint schemes that are nothing like those on the flight rounds.) |
