To the Bone Yard

Johan's jet was sent to the bone yard in Arizona last month. It is being replaced by a newer jet, newer is relative as this "new" jet is still circa 1980. The jet's tail number ends in 40, playing on that, and the fact that Johan's crew chief is one of the oldest, the jet was painted with an "Over the Hill" theme. Unlike the active duty Air Force, at Kingsley Field the jets get custom painted. Johan's crew chief designed this one when the jet was repainted for Johan. It is difficult to see in the picture, but the jet is painted with a skeleton riding a heater missile.
