Wolfpak Decals sheet 72-117 "Aces High" covers a diverse range of aircraft, including an F-16C from the 147th FW, Texas ANG, a MiL-17 operated by the 6th SOS and two F-35As from the 57th and 419th wings. The aircraft featured are:

It was marked as the WIng Commander's aircraft and carried '147 FW" markings on the fin and a red and white steer's head, together with the standard unit markings comprising a Texas flag on the lower rudder and fin and a red fin band containing "HOUSTON" in white. Below the Texas flag was "Don't Mess with Texas" in black script;
- MiL-17-1V N173RU from the 6th SOS at Hurlburt Field, Florida during April 2010. It was painted overall semi-gloss white and carried no markings other than the N number on the rear boom;
