Why not just have all skins available all of the time?

Funny.. the 4th FG/336th FS skin has always been a red nosed D-Day skin.

no it used to be like the 334th. we used to fly both during flights as the 20th in 51Ds. so maybe they switched it back? because it wasnt that a month and a half ago

There was one long ago by Machnix that was a 4th bird, but it's been gone for quite some time.  It had the swept back 4th nose trim from 45 and matched up with the 51B with the swept back 4th red nose.

Fencer's James Goodson D-Day 51D has been around forever along with his "Man O'War" skin for the 4th.

LOL, its the history!  When the 51s first got in, Machnix was doing 51 skins and we managed to dig up info on both a 4th B/C and D with similar markings from the early 45 time period of the 4th.  Seemed like it would be fun to be able to fly both types with accurate skins for the same time frame.  The newer ones are more colorful and have better nose art and detail so the D model got rotated out at some point I guess.
