A little info for you about the deer kill insignia on the airplane. The aircraft was on takeoff from Langley AFB back to Atlantic City Air National Guard Base when it struck the deer. It cleaned off the inboard gear door almost completely. Only the upper hinges were left and some of the gear door rods. The aircraft returned to Langley the gear were pinned and it was flown back to ACY for us to fix. I know this is correct because I was the crew chief on that airplane from Jan of 1973 until some time in 1984, I believe when I switched airplanes with another crew chief.
