My brother just sent this, anyone familiar with the tail art? Maybe an exhibition unit, considering the loops after the "DC"?

It flew over his son's soccer game a few times. I'm a bit jealous of him. Haven't seen one in a few years.

DC Air National Guard. The loops are part of the Washington Nationals logo.

*Looks like it gets painted at a facility in Sioux City.

Lots of military air presence all over our state pretty regularly. Western slope gets used a lot for training and the front range has a heavy Air Force presence

This article suggests the plane was painted in 2020, just after the Nat's World Series win.

Will have pizza ready if you let them know you are coming. Great place to stop.
