    • 73-1669, AFSC, 40% / 50% / 60% Grey, blue tailband with white "X"'s

The sheet is well printed with everything in register, the decal film itself is thin and there is very little overlap of film.

The instructions are quite poor and comprise a double-sided photocopy with color schemes and marking details.
