I went for a modern take on the Spitfire theme for my M3W in the form of the A10

SP = Spangdahlem (where it was based at the time, the A10’s have all since left Germany but I saw some overhead in Lancaster a couple years ago!)
AF = Air Force (as opposed to the US’s other military branches)
81 = Fiscal year it was put into service (and my birth year)
983 = Last 3 digits of the serial number.

A little creative license was taken with the shark face as this particular aircraft never had it I believe, but many others did.

And just to have them all in the same post...

Plus, the A10 goes BRRRRTT, and the M3W goes BRRRRPP. Close enough wink
