When I was young I used to call the design a thunderbird, because I like thunderbirds and have seen them in the wild; they are pretty awesome. Some people want to call it an eagle because of the patriotic red, white (silver) and blue Some see a jet airplane. Personally in my old age I see a phoenix rising, dazzling silver, sky blue and red fire.

I used to know the artist's name that made this but old age has gotten to me and I have forgotten it. I still remember acquiring it.
