white wings

The only existing "White Wings" were VMO-2, On a mission near the Cambodian border, a Yankee Romeo was knocked out of the sky by a friendly F-4 Phantom on a support mission because the Fast mover did not call the "No Joy" meaning he did not have the FAC in view before he delivered his ordnance, the next day the commanding officer of VMO-2 gave the order for ALL VMO2 aircraft to paint the top of the wings white, WITH a HIGH VIS pattern on the Wing Horn... thus the legend of the checkerboard was born.......... VMO-2 suffered no losses to frindly fire after that........ Nice looking bird.... BTW
