You won't find an image of VF-84 noseart (I'm pretty sure). I think I once ran across a patch or logo but it's, at best, an unofficial approximation based on written accounts. The default skin of the AH F4U-1D is pretty accurate.

Description:

"VF-84, The Wolf Gang, Snarling brown wolf holding a pair of 3-barreled pistols on outline of green devil’s head.  WW II design"

That's true, Arlo and it would be hard to find that little noseart.  The default of skin of the AH F4U-1D is our plane for VF-84 and which it belong to Roger R. Hedrick former XO for VF-17 "Jolly Rogers."

Hey Rafe that patch is available from them. Its only $7 and I was thinking about ordering it and scanning it in to pass over to you as nose art. If you want it let me know and I will order it and once I scan it and get it done I will mail it to you to have. I did the same thing with the VF-17 Commemorative patch that you can get from the same site. Otherwise let me know if you want me to try and make the patch in Photoshop. I am working on pilot badges tonight for the guys in VF-17.

You sure?  I was thinking that's good idea, but you didnt have to order it and it really up to you.  I was thinking that you talking about the patch....I guess you got it at planegfx.com ?

Here is that site you mentioned. However you might want to poke your head over to the site for VMF-444 "The Barbary Corsairs" and follow their links page. The CO is the one who runs that site I linked above and I know he doesn't take nicely to someone "borrowing" without asking.

Over in Birmingham here. We are trying to get a "mini-con" together where a bunch of us meet for some beer and food somewhere soon. I will keep you filled in on the possible location and time.
