Springfield, Ohio

I'm looking for 1/48th scale decals of the 178th fighter wing in Springfield, Ohio. These prob don't exist but thought I would try.

Hello "Boomstick" - try War Eagle sheet WED064. It has <a href="f-16_fighting_falcon_airframe-2045.html">86-0262</a> printed.

Do they have a website?

Found them. Thanks!! Hmmmm, 1/32nd scale. Guess I'll have to buy the new Tamiya kit after all.

Yep - I think I`ll end down that road as well !!

Let's hope so! I've placed an order so we'll see. Thanks a ton for the links.

"Triple Duse" is a legend at Springfield. I know we still have the current one, 87-0222 (F-16), used to have a 222 A-7, and I think they've even had one with the F-100's. She has nose art and is called "Gravedigger", I don't think I have a pic of it, but could get one if you want it.

Thanks Adam. Yes I know all about the famed 222. I was a crew chief there for 2 years on the A-7D and F-16. The decals I have depict 222 as the "Mystery Machine Scooby Do style. Was this an actual scheme for this aircraft??

Hey Adam

PLEASE do post any photos of the nose art on this web site as we do not have any photos of 162nd FS nose art. Have any other aircraft been pained with nose art?

BTW - those are my photos of 222. I photographed it at Sprinfield circa May 1999. I photographed it on the ramp in the morning and then landing in much nicer weather in the afternoon. Actually think it was doing touch-and-goes. I was also hoping to photograph 262 as it has a kill and was the first big mouth F-16, but it was in depot at the time. I should come back and visit again sometime.

222 used to have the Scooby Doo thing on it...but has changed and now is grave digger...i'll have to get some pics soon.

271 has noseart, and i think one more? I'll try to post some pics when I get them...

Boomstick, I did the research and provided photos of the Springfield jets for the Fox One sheets. I can give you whatever pics you need, both of "Mystery Machine", as well as the newer "Gravedigger" artwork.
