This transparent acrylic sign is illuminated by configurable-color LED fixtures and was constructed in the style of the logo used by the 101st Fighter Aviation Division of the Swedish Air Force, a symbol that sees continued service by Koenigsegg. A black metal outline surrounds the piece and forms a pair of eyes, and six pre-drilled mounting holes are positioned around the edge. The sign measures approximately 38″ wide by 45″ tall by 3″ deep. Acquired by the seller in 2023, this Koenigsegg Ghost Squadron sig is now offered at no reserve in Ventura, California.
Also known as Johan Röd, the 101st Fighter Aviation Division operated from 1940 to 1992 and 1993 to 2002 at an airport in Ängelholm, Sweden. The “Ghost Squadron” moniker was earned as the squadron could be heard taking off but could often not be seen due to light and weather conditions at take-off and landing. Koenigsegg moved into the abandoned hangar in mid-2003, and members of the squadron reputedly asked that the ghost logo worn by fighter jets in their division be placed on each of the cars built in the factory to honor the Ghost Squadron.
Construction consists of a transparent acrylic panel and black metal accents around the border and forming two eyes. A remote fob can be used to adjust the brightness and color of the LED fixtures. The 120-volt power cord exits from the side of the sign.
