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

Netscape says it can't find this host. Maybe it's just my system or
ISP or something.
I tried again and it opened up without a problem.
If you google on "speed enforcement" and select "images" you'll get a
bunch of copies of this photo. Cute, isn't it?
It reminds me of the old McAir calendars, the big ones with photos and
drawings of their aircraft in action. That's probably because they
showed the AV-8 ground loitering and various helicopters hiding behind
trees and ridgelines (with the ball at the top of the mast "peeking"
over it).
