When you have a lot of AI traffic sets you are sometimes surprised by "strays" that show up on your ramps. None of these are part of the AI for Whiteman, but they are from some I did myself or other packages.
Makes being a ramp tramp interesting.

It is the Wing Commander's Airplane from the 185th ANG in Des Moines Iowa. It is "Cadillac Gold" and commemorated an anniversary. They have a paint facility there (Des Moines) that repaints F-16s including the Thunderbirds. He was chastised for the paint-but he pointed out it was good for recruiting and since the paint shop was handy they could repaint it quickly if they were deployed. I used to see it frequently but haven't for some time so maybe it has been restored to the original paint. Dan Swart did a paint for me for the Kirk O version and also for the Lago.

Cool! I never seen (photos of) that plane before. I thought I remember Belgium having a yellow anniversary plane that's why I guessed Belgium.
