That's pretty funny. Tag the Academy phantom with washable paint.

Better than all the other crap going on there.

"...Tag the Academy phantom with washable paint."

True story...

Back in the day, while I was in school to learn how to be a T-38 Instructor Pilot, I had a Flight Commander who displayed an interesting picture on his desk--a T-38 sporting a Tiger's Mouth paint scheme.

As the story goes, said FC and a bunch of his buddies decided to take 4 T38s to Navy Key West for a weekend of mostly drunken debauchery.

At one point in the weekend, they get the bright idea to paint a Tiger's Mouth on the airplanes in tempura paint. The intent, of course, was to hose off the planes once they'd had their fun.

Well, as it turns out, once you've flown these airplanes, you find that you've embeded the paint into the existing paint...it didn't come off.

After much tap-dancing in front of the Wing Commander, and it was mutually decided that a short-notice PCS was in order.
