On March 12, 2010 an annual Maintenance Professional of the Year banquet was held at Langley AFB, Virginia. For this occasion F-22A 04-4082, the flagship of the 192 FW Virginia ANG unit was given a temporary blue nose paint scheme. The idea was to honor the 328th FS stationed at Bodney, England in WWII. The scheme is a duplicate of the P-51D Cripes-a-Mighty flown by Ace Major George Preddy who was a Commander of the 328th FS. The 192 FW was derived from the 328th FS after WWII.
