Summary edit

Description A U.S. Navy McDonnell F-4B-9-MC Phantom II (BuNo 149426) of Fighter Squadron VF-143 "Pukin' Dogs" aboard the aircraft carrier USS Bon Homme Richard (CVA-31). VF-143 was assigned to Carrier Air Wing 14 (CVW-14) aboard the USS Constellation (CVA-64). This aircraft landed either by mistake or due to an emergency aboard the small Essex-class carrier which did not operate the F-4. It was common to paint "visiting" aircraft with comments (see: "Down Bird"; "Train your troops"; "If you can't fly 'em park 'em"; "Captured by the Bonnie Dick CVA 31").
