Is the 138FW changing over to a smaller indian chief's head on their tails?

Seen several pic's of the smaller edition - just like this one?

Hey my friend,

No new tail markings - just a lot of planes going through various upgrades these days ( SLOS and BLOS ) and many of the Tulsa jets only have this "crude" outline of the Chief´s head on their tails.

It´s a longer process to paint these beautyfull tails as each and every one is done by hand!!

Cheers,

Henrik.

they are moving the a.c. Number from tail bats to upper tail so they are not on recordable panels. Had to resize the art. Also, only one of two will have color tail flash. Gone are the days of most line jets with color-
