Hi. Does anyone know if the Eagle/Sun emblem on the Skystriker's vertical stabilizers are based on any actual military insignia?
For years I've been considering getting a tattoo similar to that (with the eagle done as a silhouette though) but, being that I've never served in the military, I wouldn't want to disrespect those who have by putting their symbols on my arm. Thanks!

I do know that they changed Gung Ho's tat because they didn't want the Marines to be upset about copyright laws

The opened talon eagle is representative of both a bomber squadron and/or a flight instructor/trainer. The latter is more consistent wih Ace's file card.
Go ahead get the tattoo done, and dont worry about the politics behind it. |

this is from Mr. Rudat
"Allen, Nothing to worry about, I made up this Eagle Logo myself. It is not attached to any branch of the service. " |

That eagle logo is BAD ASS. Always one of my favorite ARAH logo designs, that, the SHARC, and Conquest X-30.
