Aircraft was sent over during Desert Shield for the 33rd TFS but was taken from the 19th TFS. This upset some of the 19th TFS as it was their flag ship and it was immediately converted to the 33rd TFS markings. So a whimsical cartoon cock was painted for nose art. Was the alert aircraft during Desert Storm. Art work by Warren Trask.
