This is what happens when you pull a F-80's nose and make it fart!

Here is a rare one for you. The Lockheed B-69.

Yes, it is a P2V Neptune, mostly. But the CIA wanted some for intelligence gathering and the USN declined the honor of doing the logistics support so the USAF got the job. Okay, so you have this Secret Spy Plane and rather than make it look like all the P2V's you paint U.S Air Force on it and make it blindingly obvious it is SPECIAL.

They should have painted it up as a USN bird regardless of who operated it.

Speaking of zaps, here is a shot of one of our jets that the MiG-29 guys zapped. Zoom in on the speed break and you can see their squadron logo painted on.

I had a good laugh when I noticed!
