the nose art photo for Wing and a Prayer at your F-35-VE listing and at the 388th BG Association listing belongs here and would better represent the F-95-BO. The nose art is the F-95-BO, not the Vega which would have had the reverse position cheek guns. Compare to other F-35-VE and F-95-BO. Also compare the Seattle band Burbank factory underside demarcations relative to the pitot mast.
