The guys get requests to fly flags during a mission then afterwards they take a picture of the crew, add it to a certificate (saying this flag flew over Iraq and describing the mission), then it is mailed back to the states. Then the people back home fly the flag that once flew in Iraq. Most of the time it is for friends, family, VFWs or other military support groups. The aircraft they are in front of is the notorious 081 that we got from Balad (the one that has flown about the same number of mission hours as test flight hours). The other unit nicknamed it the hedge trimmer after they hit a tree with it. It has a cool Homer picture on it but it is still a pain. It belongs to Winsor (the guy lying on the ground) so I can't say anything really bad about it.

You're just asking for trouble flying around with a Homer Simpson plastered on the side.
That may be but you have to admit it is a pretty good rendition :)
