I worked on the Cessna T-37 Trainer version of that aircraft, at Mather Air Force Base, in California, during my Air Force years, after the F-4 Phantom's.
I hated those little pieces of S**T.
I used to take them all apart in the hanger, for phased inspections.
For me, a BIG let down after being a crew chief, on the F-4 Phantoms, as an jet aircraft mechanic on those planes.
The Air Force gave lots of responsibility to this 20+ year old kid, at the time.

Whoever made that poster misspelled 'Airacobra', which is what it was named.

No, this isn't me.
But somebody has a very interesting hobby.

This was a real paint job, too. Because of the dark colour, the skin temperature got hotter at speed than the original white paint, so the top speed was limited while wearing the Pepsi paint.

That's Ed Force One - used by them to fly to their gigs. Piloted by lead singer Bruce Dickinson - a licensed commercial pilot.
