    Whenindoubt that happened about 35 miles from me. Shot a few their eyesight is so bad that you can get right up on them. Like to use a hyper speed .22 cal. You do have to be careful and hit them square in the back of the head. For you that don't know they jump about four feet in the air after being shot. Shoot them in the back shell and the bullet will ricochet. That is why you have to shot them in the head.

    This was on a billboard near downtown on I-35 a few years back.

    Whenindoubt, I have always liked those pin-up style drawings. They are very well done, and are tasteful to boot, as it were.

    The ones that the fellows had on the sides of their old fighting planes were very good too, I thought. And any lady who might view them as 'sexist' is no real lady at all, in my opinion.

    Yes, there is something just right about art like this ...

    And I am not a war-like person at all, but I can just feel the inspiration in that.

    My old dentist in Iowa had a coffee table book on nose art of war birds at his office. It made going to the dentist not all that bad. Enjoyed looking at the book nicely done in a time of a world at war.

    Wonderful ... yes, perhaps a spirit of optimism, and a reminder to the fellows flying, of why they would do well to come back home safely.

    Thank you,

    Okay, so who paints these ?

    Is there a list of the artists who do the best work ? Are there stencils ? And I'd imagine that they'd need to think of the wears of weather and such, and the washing and maintenance of the planes ... cracks between the panels ...

    ... you know, nerdy questions like that ( and I wish you both to have nerdy significant others :) ).

    There are several nose art companies. They do panel sections to hang on the wall. It is one of my goals for my man cave. They usually run about $225

    Hey guys ...

    You might not know this, but Ontario (and especially Toronto where I live) have no fucking use at all for the gov-geeks in Ottawa.

    We have the money, and Alberta has the resources. The gov-guyss do what we say. We are Southern Ontario Rebels.

    Think about it ... I do not mean to speak for you, but we in TO are rebels (without a fight, really).

    Just imagine ... Toronto (winners of two World Series) ... Texas (home of the hottest football guys) ... Alberta (Wayne Gretzky hockey) ... Keystone Pipeline (No more need for the fucking middle east)...

    Bloody hell .. if we got together, we could maybe even out-trump Mister Trump !
