Just got back from vacationing in Oregon. Found this print in a 'recycle/vintage' store, it measures 11"x17".  Currently trying to find out more about it on internet searches. Thought I would share...

Seems like well known warbird IX MH434 may have worn this scheme.  She was a Belgian AF plane at one time, so presumably the warlord scheme was in honour of that, possibly not for long and when is a good question still though!

PS A quick Google round - seems like it was around 1991.

Here's another photo of the other side.

I do believe that the  fictitious CK-D codes were for its appearance in the TV series 'Piece of Cake'. The Belgian markings added most likely for the reason in the above post 2.  Looks like Ray Hanna in the cockpit.
