“Would” Meme Creation From An Image That Requires Manipulation

This image is from a USAF boneyard in early 1965.



It reminds me of the right-hand side of the following meme-



If I merely reflect the image horizontally, the writing will be reversed.

I thought of removing all the writing beforehand and the reflecting it to get the left-hand side, but the lettering is part of the charm of the image.

Any thoughts or suggestions?

TIA
