Hi Scott

Checked my saved photos, and this type of demarcation line on the back of the Viper I have earliest noted on photos from mid-1997. Apparently, it lived on untill late 2002 when most if not all where painted in the "normal" scheme.
86-0309 was transfered to 186FS 120FW in 2001, still carrying the same scheme. My suggestion is that the time period is from 1997-2001 sometime, most likely 97-99 timeframe.

Hi Scott and Niels,

It is actually a bit later. The guy(s) checking out the aircraft are MT ANG people during the preps for the actual transfer flight from Kunsan to Great Falls, MT - so it is from Dec. 2000.

This paint scheme - called the "Wolf Pack" scheme by me - was worn by 309 until early this year when she went to Ogden for Falcon STAR and a fresh layer of paint. She has just been returned to the VT ANG where she flies today and has yet to receive their squadron markings on the tail!!

Cheers,

Henrik.

Close enough Very Happy
