This was in the 1970s (when the Thunderbirds were still flying the T-38s), and the US Army still had a demo team of OH-6 Cayuses called the Silver Eagles (if my memory is correct), and one of the solos was painted up to look like a clown with a red bubble on the canopy for the fake nose. This just reminded me of that. We lived close to McGuire AFB and saw them in action at least once. My folks have all photos, and one day I swear I need to scan them to share in places like this. But they're hours away from me so I never get the time when I can visit them ☹️...
