Red River Hawg

In 2019 I was contacted by the demonstration team to design a new heritage paint scheme for the teams 2021-2022 jet. They wanted a scheme to commemorate the Vietnam veterans that are still alive and importantly remember the people that never made it home.

So on the left side of the aircraft on the nose are the names of the members of the 355th Tactical Fighter Wing, that were sadly KIA / MIA and also POW's. The scheme itself represents that of the paint scheme flown by the units F-105 Thunderchief's out of Takhli Royal Thai Air Force Base, Thailand in 1965.
