If I remember correctly, when I was there in 1975, there was an Invader with "Ruptured Duck" nose art. It had a Donald Duck-like head/face, wearing headsets with tangled wires. The plane had a placard indicating that it had been used in the filming of "Twelve O'Clock High." I was thinking that the plane was white, but that was a LONG time ago and I was only ten years old at the time.
I used to have a picture of the nose art, but I haven't seen it in many years. It could be in a shoebox somewhere.
I vaguely remember seeing a sabre dog, but jets didn't interest me much back then, so it didn't stick in my memory as well.
