production, flight tests, and the fatal crash of Aircraft #2 in
1965. Aircraft #1 is now at the U.S. Air Force Museum at
Wright-Patterson AFB.

aircraft paint schemes and markings, with its sharks teeth, heavy
metal magic, and racy ladies. The reader will journey to: a
European Tiger Meet where tiger and jungle cat paint schemes are
the rule and not the exception - A-10 Thunderbolts and F-4 Phantom
IIs - a stroll into Operation Desert Storm, and a first hand look
at the Tornados, Victors, and C-130s which were participants - for
perhaps the first time, a close-up look into the weapons bays of
the now infamous F-117 Stealth fighter and the hidden humor of
weapons bay art - a look at the colorful metaphors painted on the
weapons to be delivered to Saddam Hussein - rare F-105 Thunderchief
bomb bay door art, and the clever names on the intakes and panels
of just about any active duty aircraft of the last twenty years.
