I thought so too old boy! But Dan boy says it's the 'White 5'....so I'm just as confused as you now.

Yeah I do recall that....the Dogfights show in which 'Swede' was featured showed a large White 5 forward of the fuselage insignia....

more than one source has quoted Black 10....

Gives you the sh!ts..don't it! I'm sure Dan will chip in real soon and give us the clarification....as I'm sure he had a connection with 'Swede'.

Just found this note from Dan...in a search.

"He commented about the dogfights episode, which he said was completely accurate.... He loved it.... He said, "For once, those Hollywood types got it right..."

SO "White 5' it must be...
