492nd Jet Names?
Posted: Sat Oct 21, 2017 8:03 am
Can someone tell me have the Strikes of the 492nd always carried nicknames on the nosewheel door or is it just when they are returning from deployment?
Going through my pictures from the last week and the jets which arrived as Mazda on Sunday had names written beside where the aircraft serial is written on the nosewheel door ie
97-221 "Madhatter"
91-308 "Cheshire Cat"
91-332 "Teedledum"
98-131 "One Eyed Jack"
91-605 "Queen of Hearts" could easily be "Knave of Hearts"
98-133 "Wally" something can`t make it out really?
Thought they were all going to be characters from Alice in Wonderland but last jet has thrown that idea from what I can find.
Cheers
