Philippine Air Force / Hukbong Himpapawid ng Pilipinas

[CHSubZero]

When I was thinking about the new map "Mariana Islands" and Air Forces nearby the Philippine Air Force crossed my mind relatively fast :)

 

I need help with identifiying the Squadron logo (?) painted on the nose. Kind of a blue Shield with a White Arrow and something else on it.

 

Here a few WIP shots.

looks more like a white sidewinder for me on the shield and a target cross, when you lookin through the visier

Now that you mention it, it looks very familiar :huh:

 

I also found a text:

This F-86F wears insignia of the 5th Fighter Wing, as seen sometimes in the early 1970s. The PhAF F-86Fs were armed with AIM-9B Sidewinder missiles, and their main intended role was interception. Eventually, however, they were foremost used for air-to-ground attacks against different insurgents around the country.

I think the AIM-9B and Target Lock are the right choice regarding the look and the history of the F-86F while service with the PhAF
