Republic of California Air Force Markings

[Leading Observer]

Any one done anything on markings for an independent California Republic [Republic of California]?

Same general concept as the Australian/Canadian/NZ roundels, but with a bear in the center instead of the kangaroo/maple leaf/kiwi?

Maybe something more like the South Korean marking, a yin-yang theme.

The logo of the California Air National Guard HQ might also be a point of departure, as would the California Republic flag itself:

Based on a nationalist California flag from another forum

  Some of us would take umbrage to the resemblance of that symbol to that of the privateer army called Blackwater - later Xe Services.

Now that I googled Blackwaters logo I can see your point
