Enough markings for two complete jets with options for three from the 23rd Wing Flying Tigers.

The signature jet on this sheet is A/C 81-987 which was flown by Capt Killer Chick Campbell.  This aircraft suffered severe battle damage during a mission in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom.  After losing all hydraulics, Capt Campbell was able to nurse the aircraft home in "reversionary" mode using the Warthogs cables and pullies to manipulate all the control surfaces.

The brute strength of the Warthog design design was validated when Capt Campbell was able to crash-land the aircraft and walk away from the wreckage.
