I flew one of these and actually spent the last year of my career flying one in Egypt (that is not me in front of the pyramids, however). For that year, mine was red & white, shown here with me flying in the desert in Egypt.

Spent 4 years in Germany, first as Hawk Missile Tech in the Fulda gap, then Supply Specialist. I was there when we came within seconds of shooting Ole Tricky Dick down one night when AF1 got off course during his visit to Moscow.
