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.

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).

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

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

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.

Ah, bless you, Mary. Hope it's not packed too far away after the move.

(I just recently had need for something that I knew we had, but hadn't
used since before we moved. Five years ago. It turned up at the back of
the garage...)

Um, that's "moves". I packed it up at Dryden, moved it to Lancaster,
moved it to the first house in Palm Desert, and just now moved it to
the second house in Palm Desert. At least, I think I did. There's a
small chance it's still in Lancaster, but we'll be back up there for
the summer in a couple of weeks.

Anyway, I'll look for the file. It's a thick one, because I collected
a lot of office graffiti and xerox lore.
