I have a friend working on Guam, and he sent me a picture of this plane he has seen landing there. He only quipped that someone called it a "Mk 58", whatever that might mean.

It's a Hawker Hunter. The Mk58 version was a rebuild programme that zero-houred earlier versions and was produced for the Swiss. They were retired in the mid-90s.

The Hunter was a good looking plane.

Why would it be in Guam? That's the puzzler for me.
