I'm kinda surprised they recalled the "A-1" part of OA-1, as well?

At work today this flew over us today!  I went full history geek mode as I recognized those invasion stripes. Quickly found the plane on a flight tracker site and from there found out it was the 'Placid Lassie' and she has quite the history.
