Nice paintings.
The first one is a sort of bad Snoopy on his doghouse.

Hey Dice,

Was that bird a FAC? During VN the Covey FACs who flew in support of SOG in the Prarrie Fire days used Snoopy on his dog house for their logo. They were flying O-2s and OV-10s then. I know the Nail FACs are flying OA-10s now.

That's a Question for \"The Thug\" He flew OV-10's and I think the O-2's at onetime also.

He would Know the answer.

Speaking of which, where is he. I haven't seen him post for awhile.

Side note, a friend of mine here at work was a Bronco pilot during VN. A Nail FAC. He was shocked to hear that we're using A-10's for the FAC mission these days.

Just like the Shock when they first told us months before the GULF and all that \"Army BS\" Transfeer Crap\" making the A-10 FAC for the \"NEW A-16C 's\" with the 30mm Gun Pods\"
Taking the A-10's Job.

The 23rd TASS 'Nail FAC\" 'Nailing Down and FAC'em\" They did a Great Job in the Gulf though!

Very interesting door art again, Dice-man! But in this special case that's a big surprise to me as a German aviation enthusiast: The downing aircraft at right on the artwork must be the overall red-painted Fokker Dr.I Dreidecker (triplane), flown by legendary German fighter pilot Manfred von Richthofen (known as the \"Red Baron\") and killed in action over France during WW I on 21 April 1918).

Hi-res: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/a/a0/RoteBaron.JPG

Could you verify the related A-10 serial number and curent unit, Dice-Man? That would be very helpful.

His grasp of the obvious is pretty good, though. :wink: And it is a beautiful DR.1.
