It won’t necessarily be removed now that they are home - remember the 492nd jets that returned this time last year were still carrying much of their deployment artwork well into the start of this year.

Terrific shots - the 494th have really raised the bar with this latest batch of artwork.

Some of these artworks are great - ‘The Rough Riders’ and ‘Lady Liberty’ especially. I hope they keep it. Thanks for sharing.
