EAGLE01 shatters the still morning air to go up against two TacAir F-5 Tigers. This superb livery honors the namesake of Kingsley ANGB, 2nd Lt David R Kingsley. Kingsley, an Oregon-native, served as a B-17 bombardier in WWII. On June 23, 1944, his B-17 was damaged during a raid on the Ploesti oil fields. The pilot gave the bailout order but unfortunately one of the crewmembers parachutes was damaged. Kingsley elected to give his chute up and stay with the stricken B-17 and he was killed in action. This scheme was rolled out in 2019 to commemorate 75 years since his heroic actions over Romania.
