#2 Helmet Bag; ´Nam version with 433 TFS insignia and Spook

[ties70]

Guys,

here is the second attempt to pimp up a Pike Brothers helmet bag.
It features the squadron insignia for the 433 TFS, 8 TFW, also known as "Satan's Angels", stationed at RTAFB Ubon, Thailand.

The overall artwork is kind of a hommage to their CO, Col. Robin Olds, and features the name of his F-4, with which he downed two Migs on 20 May 1967. Spook, the F-4 mascot, therefore does not show the usual letters "II" but two stars. I am tempted to add a moustache, as it was Olds personal "trademark"...

As you will have surely noticed, this bag has not been washed, yet, so the artwork is crisp and sharp.

My wife has told me that I can't keep them all, so this one is for sale. If somebody is interested and wants something added (name stencil etc.) just let me know.

Best regards,

Ties

PM sent, Robin Olds leadership style is legendary in military flying. November is Mustache month in Cuba.

Great. I really want one. I think I'm too late already though .
If possible, I'd be happy to get one too. Give it a thought, and just let me know if and when you're up to it.
