A sailor on the aircraft carrier USS Enterprise (CVN 65) takes advantage of the lull between air strikes against Iraq to paint an aircraft with icons of bombs on Dec. 18, 1998, during Operation Desert Fox. The icons are an indicator of the number of bombing runs each particular aircraft has made. Enterprise and its embarked Carrier Air Wing 3 are operating in the Persian Gulf in support of Desert Fox.
