Yet that very same Skyraider has a paintjob celebrating the death of a MiG-17 pilot. How come that’s not tasteless?

If that is tastless…then the nose art of PA474 …a ghost holding a bomb threatning Germany (and everything that isn’t something innocuous like “Sally B”) and all kill markings should be censored.
Silly.

If you really believe that, then suggest all warbirds should be melted down ASAP.
After all, they were designed to kill.
