Just thought as nobody has posted any nose art pics I would upload mine when i noticed Blue Diamond's lovely sharp shots - anyway I have started so i will finish

mine are definitely soft since i fell on my 70-200 in the viewing area at Las Vegas in 2023, its not been the same lens after that

Tabor 51 - 56 arrived from Muwaffaq Salti Air Base, Jordan on a very dull Tuesday morning with Tabor 61-66 following in on a sunny Thursday morning

They've got some good graphic artists in the squadron and evidently someone with time to do the research on names.

Lovely shots Mike. I’d like to see them with that nose art flying through LFA7. I just love the Strike Eagle , awesome looking aircraft much better looking than the F35 I feel.
