Notable, the tail marking on the vertical fin appears to be similar to the personal markings of Eric Hartman as seen on Jagdgeschwader 71 (JG 71) Canadair Sabre MK6 and the Bf109 during WW II. Also on a closer inspection of the lower portion of the vertical fin, it appears to have a hole in the skin. Previous registrations LN-OSW, P2-OSW, and C-GTWS.
