there's some photo's out on the net of Constant Peg aircraft - many of them, especially the more recent ones are painted as they would be by the bad guys. I think the only ones with stars and bars I've seen are the earliest ones - such as on the Roadrunners website.

Looking at some of these and the Mig-23's in particular makes me wonder about the Mig 23 at the USAF museum in Dayton - when it first came out it had a story about being sold be a Soviet/Russian general to some US milliare to he could feed and keep his troops warm, and then impounded by customs when it arrived in some US port in a container.
Was this one really from Tonopah? Supposedly many of the Constant Peg airplanes have turned up at various bases as display pieces.
