I had that on a placard over my desk for years, except that the road
sign had an F-4 silhouette on it as well.

I found this one on the web a while back

And here's a somewhat more old-fashioned one:

That reminds me of the time I got a ride in Dryden's Bell 47
helicopter. We went over to Mojave and came back to Dryden by flying
along the freeway. Well, it was amazing how quickly all the
tractor-trailer rigs slowed down. They thought we were the aircraft
of the "patrolled by aircraft" signs.

Sadly, no one seems to have the Phantom version online.

I'll dig my n-th generation copy out and scan it in. It's with my
Sidewinder "reach out and touch someone" drawing from the Libya
incident and all the other aerospace graffiti I've collected.
