Does anyone have any pictures of Richard Bach's T-33 with the flower decals stuck all over it?

I remember that pic vividly, Rick, but can't recall whether it appeared in Flying or AOPA Pilot. I'm checking about, too.

There is a full-page color photo in the September 1977 issue of FLYING magazine (50th Anniversary Issue) on page 302 of Richard Bach sitting in the cockpit his yellow with orange and black trim Canadair T-33. The photo shows the T-33's right intake with the flowers (daisies) and Bach sitting in the cockpit wearing his black flight helmet. This photo does NOT show the whole plane, but I do remember seeing this T-33 once and recall it as being pretty "wild." Hope this info helps
