The artwork is great, but I guess the artist didn't know the difference between a tiger and a leopard.  Great shots and impressive artwork too.  The Arizona ANG fin flash is my absolute favorite.

Welcome to the group Harry.  I like all your Viper posts.

Apparently in the es-pan-yo-low the word for leopard is el tigre.

'Cause being pretty isn't a requirement to fly. Maintenance isn't mandatory for paint except as a corrosion prevention measure so money can be spent on other things... not sure what those are in the case of the Dutch birds though.

I'm not complaining.  I love shooting rough-looking aircraft - so much more character, and so much more believable as war machines than hi-gloss demo birds.  Just a personal preference though.  Also why I love shooting Marine Corps birds so much as well.  Can't wait to catch some UH-1Ys and AH-1Zs after they have a few years of dirt and exhaust and salt air under their skins.
