Aviation ordnance Marines with Marine Fighter Attack Squadron 115, 3rd Marine Aircraft Wing (Forward), arm the ordnance of the squadron's "Joe's Jokers" heritage jet before it embarks on a combat mission. The squadron painted the aircraft in celebration of their 65th anniversary. While much of the aircraft is dedicated to World War II commanding officer, Maj. Joe Foss, the squadron added a modern twist, painting the aircraft's speed brake to resemble the South Carolina flag. The flag represents the squadron's home, Marine Corps Air Station Beaufort, S.C.
