This is a recreation of the 35th Fighter Squadron (”Pantons”) flagship F16c, blk 40 #90-0735, part of the 8th Fighter Wing, PACAF.
It received a special heritage paint scheme in 2022, featuring a sunburst tail flash in
honor of the korean war era tail designs for the operation group as they were painted on f86’s and f80’s.
It also features the names of notable 35th fs aces from ww2 on the ventral fins.
