An F-4 Phantom, one of the premier jet fighter-bombers of the previous century, then in service with western militaries the world over, displaying nose art which will be distinctly familiar to many of you: Belldandy, Skuld and Urd, of Ah! My Goddess.
Of course, the provenance of such an image is problematic (it doesn’t help that it is likely old and is badly compressed); we have to wonder whether it is Photoshopped or not?
Perhaps there is some conclusive proof already established, but whatever the case it is an interesting image…

wow! an ita-jet...AWESOME!!!
oh yeah distract the enemy by painting anime on a fighter and shoot the enmey down when they're busy wondering wtf was painted on the plane.i'd say thats a nice strategy
Nose Art [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nose_art] has nothing to do with strategy and everything to do with lulz. It's been this way since WW2. Anybody who knows a lick about air forces around the world knows that people like to deck out their jets with random stuff. And when I say random, I mean it.
Besides, Oh! My Goddess beats plain old pin-up girls anyday.
Doesn't have to do with strategy or tactics. It's just like making your aircraft personal, is all.
Those planes are ancient...
I hope the marines let me customize my plane when i become a pilot.
I can haz Miku Ita-Su-47?
Never going to happen, but would be beyond awesome.
Will we ever see Italian jets with stripes of blue and white?
Too bad they'll be retired soon. This planes are like an icon, like the F-14. Hope they still put anime nose art on their future aircraft x_x
this is the leetest shit i've ever seen, this is sexual
Lols I want an Ita-jey now
So fake, but if its not, im now considering joining the air force...unless they invent mecha's for combat use..because then im so totally joining the military :D
What's next?A Nagi aircraft?
I want to fly the Urd one! *_*
this is crazy
Are those ladders? Now why would a plane have three ladders? Is it three different planes? Also, the shot of it taking off looks HIGHLY unnatural.
Three planes at rest on the tarmac. Three ladders deployed. Three shots of three different noses.
And who said the plane was taking off?
Yes, that could be a landing.
It's real. As others have said, 3 planes, 3 shots, 3 ladders.
As for the take off/landing shot, it is either rotating on take off, or using aerodynamic braking on landing. Note the rear horizontal stabilator - it's rotated upwards indicating backwards stick pressure, again showing that it's either rotating on take off, or slowing down after touchdown.
Photoshopped.
They're genuine

Urd is not suppose to have two white wings...
Urd's ANGEL has one black wing.
Yeah... what's up with that???!!!
Only happens in Japan....
=D
Lol it's genuine... I think I read about it in an article somewhere a while back... a LONG while back...
Nose Art has been practiced by just about every Air Force at one time or the other. Most of the time it is very Un-official . . . . http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nose_art
That is one hot aircraft! ;0
If they used Miku, I think it'll really look nice on fighter jets.. Especially with Miku's color scheme.. PURE AWESOMENESS.. Oh My Goddess girls are also fine.. They protect you in the skies..
