...but what the hey. In my experience, having been stationed at NAS (now MCAS) Miramar from 1990-1993, and editor/staff writer for the base newspaper The Jet Journal , I can say with some reasonable authority that only the squadron/air wing skipper (or CAG) has a "Cadillac" -- one bird, usually desi...

F-86 & F-4C static birds - Kadena AB, Okinawa
Shots of static display F-86 & F-4C at Kadena Air Park, Kadena Air Base, Okinawa, JA. Notice the heavy-duty anchors on the landing gear -- this is to prevent the static birds from blowing-away during typhoons, which are common to Okinawa. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v685/jaywhy8202/Kadena%20AB...
