NOTE: This image is from a copy of a stolen original and features an F-15 Eagle outfitted with Vectored Thrust Nozzles and forward canards. It is shooting at a human piloted alien disc. This illustration was rendered for Japanese clients and featured a plane belonging to the famed USAF 555 "Triple Nickel" Squadron.
FROM BILL'S FACEBOOK: Circa just after Christmas in 1987--I hand-rendered a pen&ink with India ink Short Takeoff and Landing (STOL) F-15 Eagle temporarily assigned to the famed "Triple Nickel" 555 squadron chasing a flying saucer in the skies above Manila. Notice the forward canards just behind the cockpit and the vectored thrust nozzles out the ass end.
LOCATION: The encounter was somewhere out over the Philippines but was rendered by hand in the VMFA-314 Black Knights F/A-18 Hornet squadron hanger at Marine Corps Air Station El Toro, Irvine, California the day after Christmas in 1987.
