F-104 belonging to the Canadian Air Force.
One of the famous shots. It is the F-104 belonging to the Canadian Air Force that was painted over one night for the tiger days party.

 

F-104 tail paint-job for Tigers' party.
The second shot tends to give credit to the artists. Needless to say there was some concern among the commanders about the paint job but, except for the cleaning of the radome and certain other parts, the scheme was allowed to stay for the duration of the party.
