Hey everyone! I'd like to make a skin request: An F-4J "Showtime 100" flown by Randy "Duke" Cunningham and Willie "Irish" Driscoll:



I'd also like a no-number and no-marking version, if that's okay.

This aircraft was flown by the two to shootdown 3 MiG-17s, but on the way back to the carrier, the Phantom was struck by an SAM-2 missile and severely damaged in the tail. After much effort, the two managed to nurse their aircraft to the coast just as Showtime 100 finally lost it's tail and went into a spin. The two were later rescued.

The later life of Cunningham is well-known. Driscoll still makes speechs at various gatherings every now and then.

I tried making a request at M4T a couple days ago, but that topic decended into a political pissing match over Cunningham's political career. Which is why I'm asking here: the aircraft has a very notable story to it, and besides, it wasn't even their own aircraft(which was undergoing repair at the time). Sure, the reputation of one crewman was smeered later, but it doesn't do any harm to the aircraft or it's skinnability(I hope).

I have that one. I'll upload it
