Interestingly, all of the kill markings say they were made with AIM-9s, i.e., "MIG 21, 23 APR 67, AIM 9". According to Aces and Aerial Victories, the kill on 23 Apr 67 was with an AIM-7E, the first 22 May 67 kill with an AIM-9B, and the second 22 May kill with the SUU-16 20mm cannon.

When retired, Miss Piggy first ended up at the McChord AFB Museum and now resides at the Seattle Museum of Flight in SEA 389th TFS markings.

These kill markings made possible by a grant from the Heat-Seeking Weapons Division, Raytheon Corp.
