AD1005 has been cut from a wing removed from S/N 56-0784. This aircraft served with several U.S. interceptor units, including the Arizona Air National Guard’s 197th Fighter-Interceptor Squadron. During the Berlin Crisis of 1961, 56-0784 deployed with the 197th to Ramstein Air Base, West Germany, where the squadron stood air-defense alert as part of the American reinforcement of NATO.

We discovered this wing in a boneyard earlier this year.

AD1005 features art by 8380 Laboratories.
