Dear Sven,
I love your Arizona Chicken.
For your viewing pleasure, I would like to present to you your pilot, and my grandfather—
Lt. Col. Roger M. Long, USAF (Retired).
He was, also, the artist who painted the roadrunner on the side. A bird that he called an Arizona Chicken.
He would have been absolutely delighted with your perfect replica! My father and grandmother have enjoyed this thread tremendously.
As a reward for your troubles, my grandmother says that the gentleman that was his WSO/GIB was Lt.Tom Folse.
Thank you so much.
