The only people perhaps more obsessive than type designers are builders of model aircraft. TLai Enterprises offers a font for sale called AmarilloUSAF. With its straight lines and blocky look, AmarilloUSAF provides the correct, forthright feel of the real thing.
AmarilloUSAF Pro—Enhanced US Air Force Aircraft Marking Font
Like AmarilloUSAF, AmarilloUSAF Pro follows the current lettering specifications for US Air Force aircraft.
In addition to having all the characters in the original AmarilloUSAF, the Pro version also has variations of letters and numbers used on past USAF aircraft, making it ideal for creating historically accurate decals and lettering.
You can find this style of lettering on US military aircraft dating back to WWII, on both Navy and Army/Air Force planes and helicopters.

AmarilloUSAF Pro Notes
- To obtain a 1″ scale height letter with AmarilloUSAF Pro, set the point size to 120. At this point size, the actual letter height will correspond to 72 points, or 1″, while the leading will be at 120 points. To get a closer spacing between lines of type, you will need to change your leading to a value smaller than your current point size.
