Sweet pics, thanks NS!!

Definately love the Social Distortion paintjob, wonder if someone will paint shark teeth on a Griffon?!?  :threat:

»Uhhh... so a Dutch Chinook - before it's refit

Some have mentioned that "Bones" has been Canadianized -- apparently he now has a hockey stick and a different motto, but he's still there.  Great to see the concept of wartime nose art surviving!

Will be interesting to see how MsM art critics weigh in on the art ... :warstory:

... see how MsM art critics weigh in on the art ...

It will be interesting to read about the history that might be dredged up that is behind the nose art.

At the school here - the student's course project is reviving old WW2 bomber nose-art and having it applied to our fleet of King Airs.  I will reserve judgment on its appeal once I see it - pictures to follow.

would LOVE to see that.  When will the pics be available? 

Those Chinooks look just beautiful.

Apparently the nose-art has been produced and is in the Hangar.  I imagine as the tails go through their maintenance cycle the decals will be applied.

 

[AirCanuck]

can't wait to see it.  still going to post photos?

 

[Zoomie]

I will as soon as I see them.

I confirm that "BONES" is alive with a hockey helmet and stick with the motto "2 for hooking".  Another AC (147204) has been painted with a Jack the Ripper image and has the motto of " black jack". I can confirm these, as I am over in the Sand Box working on the Chinooks and Griffons as a Tech.
