For your consideration is an exceptionally rare, multi-signed limited edition print from Squadron Prints Ltd., depicting the F-5N Tiger II (BuNo 761589 ‘07’) of the world-famous VMFT-401 “Snipers” out of MCAS Yuma, Arizona.
WHY THIS PIECE IS EXCEPTIONAL:
This is not a standard signed photo or a common souvenir. It is a "Unit-Signed" profile print featuring 14 authentic pilot signatures and callsigns from the October 2004 squadron roster. Obtaining this density of signatures from an active-duty tactical squadron is an incredible rarity, representing nearly the entire pilot complement of the Marine Corps' only dedicated adversary unit.
COMMANDING OFFICER SIGNATURE:
The print is anchored by the signature of Ct. Roger “Buck,” the Commanding Officer (Sniper 01) of VMFT-401 at the time of publication. This provides an undisputed level of provenance and historical value to the piece.
THE PILOT ROSTER (SIGNATURES & CALLSIGNS):
• Ct. Roger “Buck” – Sniper 01 (Commanding Officer)
• John Sollner “Sunshine”
• Brent Deans “Waco”
• Rob Fiddle “Gus”
• J.W. “Gasm”
• Additional Callsigns: Wino, Slugger, K-9, Tinman, Flanders, Grail, Biscuit, Banger, and Shed.
THE AIRCRAFT & UNIT HISTORY:
VMFT-401 is the elite "Red Air" squadron of the Marine Corps. Flying the F-5N Tiger II—a platform famously procured from the Swiss Air Force for its agility and ability to simulate MiG-21 threats—these pilots provide the high-stakes training required for TOP GUN and the Weapons and Tactics Instructor (WTI) course. This print captures the squadron during a golden era of adversary training.
