That's the one I got! I bought it when I was visiting the Wright-Patterson museum several years ago. The print I have has a banner at the bottm commemorating some event they had at W-P in the 1980's.

That's a beauty. Hey, check this one out:


"21 Seconds to Splash 5" by Roy Grinnell. August 28, 1972. Captain Steve Ritchie is about to score his fifth aerial victory, making him the first, and only Air Force Ace of the Vietnam War.

One of these days I'm going to build 3 Vietnam F-4s in 1/48: Ritchie's, Cunningham's and the "Chico the Gunfighter" gunship bird. Chico not only had the internal gatling, but also carried gun pods on the pylons and Rockeye cluster bombs. Nasty! Maybe four Phantoms, I should have a Marine in there, too.
