	The Warbird Warbird Aviation Rendezvous, Inc., based in Springfield , Illinois , owns and operates a 1943 North American SNJ-5 licensed in the standard category. W.A.R. Inc., is registered with the "Central Contractor Registration" (C.C.R.) and accepts VISA and MasterCard. Clyde Zellers has restored and repainted this airplane in the unique and accurate paint scheme of Basic Training Unit Two, Corry Field, Pensacola Complex during 1952. This paint scheme was one of several tested for high visual acuity in the busy training areas surrounding Pensacola , Florida . "In order to evaluate this scheme under various conditions CNATRA on June 13, 1952, directed that twelve SNJs of Basic Training Unit 1 (BTU-1) at NAAS Whiting Field, twelve SNJs of BTU-2 at NAAS Corry Field, and twelve SNB-5s assigned to US Navy School All Weather Flying (USNSAWF) at NAS Corpus Christi used for instrument training were to be painted with this high visibility scheme. In addition, three SNB-5s at Corry Field used for instrument training were to be painted glossy yellow for comparative purposes." - THE OFFICIAL MONOGRAM US NAVY & MARINE CORPS AIRCRAFT COLOR GUIDE, Vol. 3 1950-1959, By: John M.
