Jinkin Josie

Jinkin Josie is a Republic EF-105F Wild Weasel. Wild Weasels are aircraft modified and equipped to attack enemy surface-to-air missile (SAM) sites. Josie was flown by Captain Vern Harris and Captain Kim Pepperell of the 357^th Tactical Fighter Squadron over North Vietnam in 1968. Compare Jinkin Josie’s nose art to Virgin Atlantic’s, Josie’s rather risqué no?
