Anybody who served in the 194th FIW remember a T-33 with the words "Bear One" in latin painted on the side?

URSA UNUM, OR VICE VERSA? WE HAD TWO T birds at the 539th, if I remember correctly, but neither had that on them. I think we had two, one of them, I think was for the use of 21st Air Sector. We had a monobrow 1 star who used to fly one. He also had a Pontiac Gran Prix as his staff car. What a tool.

Found three tail numbers for 194th T-33s, but no views showing both sides of the nose for each of the three. A former 194th member recalled the "Bear One" as "Oso Uno", so maybe it was Spanish and not Latin. Where was the 539th located? |

539th was in Wrightstown, NJ, not far from Atlantic City. Almost due east of Philadelphia.
UNO wouldn't be Latin, Spanish would be right.
