The USAF painted several aircraft in special colours to mark the "Bicentennial" anniversary of the United States of America. Five Phantoms of Bitburg in these special colours were at Twente during the Tactical Weapon Meet and one of these is 69-0271 which is visible on the picture. Photo copyright Willy Metze
