This white acrylic sign is illuminated by 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 outline surrounds the piece and forms a pair of eyes, and threaded standoff mounts are affixed to the rear. The sign measures approximately 37″ wide by 45″ tall by 2.5″ deep. Acquired by the seller in 2024, this Koenigsegg Ghost Squadron sign is now offered at no reserve in Ventura, California, with a wooding shipping crate.
Also known as Johan Röd, the 101st Fighter Aviation Division operated from 1940 to 1992 and from 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 white acrylic panel and black accents around the border and forming two eyes. The brightness of the LED fixtures can be dimmed. The 120-volt power cord has a three-prong US-style plug.
Markings indicate production in Falciano, San Marino.
