I had posted on the A-7 thread about a Rams head design that I'd thought was on a VA-83 tail symbol when I was with that squadron.

Nope. It was when they had just transitioned to lawn darts (F/A-18C Hornet). A fellow squadron mate found the design for me on the web. Would be cool to have for FSX!

The "Disco Goat" ram head was shortlived as I recall. NC

I can see why. When I finally got around all the other squadrons in CAG-17, -83 was using the ram's head similar to the patch design, late '94.

Roland, I don't know about the reference to F-16; I do know Hornets were/are called that.....especially by old codgers like me. NC
