Finally this poor T-33 was painted with a better color scheme. Back in the day it was painted with some random vibrant colors by the kids of the nearby school and it didn't had its wings installed. Now it certainly looks much better. Data plate and regsitration checked by myself. Don't get mistaken, those spots on the sky are not "dust spots" those are plants on the genre Tillandsia which grow up in cables and poles because their seeds fly long distances and end up trapped on wires.
