Dear friends, I feel like I googled the entire internet a dozen times, but I came only across a small picture of the Black Sparrow (the REAL one), serial 43-15135, 302 TCS.
I have a friend who 'took a lift' at Grosseto Italy on August 15 (tomorrow !!) with B Battery, 463rd PFA, and jumped at Le Muy in Operation Dragoon. He mentioned his airplane a couple of times to me.
Looking for a nice shot of that plane's nose, and side if possible.

I know this post is pushing a year now, but in case you're still looking, here's a lead. I just came across a program for the Fourth of July Freedom Festival '92 at Mansfield, Ohio Lahm Airport, and your Black Sparrow was the lead performer. (Having never heard of 'the black sparrow' I googled it thinking it was an early SpecOps or gunship bird, then found your post). I have a small terrible newsprint pic of her, but you may be able to get archive shots from the local paper; contact The Mansfield News Journal in Mansfield Ohio (they are still publishing).
