From the 507th ARW of the USAF's Air Reserve Command at Tinker AFB, Oklahoma. On final approach to land on Runway 30 at Prestwick. The nose art is an Okies Heritage patch covering the last fifty years. It depicts the aircraft of the 507th ARW and its predecessor, the 507th TFG, flown from Tinker since 1972. A KC-135 is shown in silhouette, tailed by an F-105, an F-16 and an F-4 in formation. The red logo seen on the tanker's tail is a stylised version of the "SH" tail code carried by the fighters over the years. This photo is copyright © David A.
