The first special paint scheme came in 1991 at the Daytona 500. As part of an R.J. Reynolds promotion five drivers ran paint schemes on their cars to pay tribute to the United States Armed Forces serving in Operation Desert Storm.

it's subtle. The air force logo is above the ford emblem, and it's always on the rear quarter panels.

Oh, I know that...I just thought is was funny because compared to the others, its tiny. I always liked when it was Air Force as the primary with the awesome blue paint scheme and the sweet logo on the hood. If anyone has a good picture of that car I'll use it as an avatar.
