LET GARY HAVE THE HONOR OF POSTING THE FIRST NOSE ART PICS!

Fri May 11, 2007 5:24 pm

I think we should let Gary post the first nose art photos on WIX. He deserves it.
I know the temptation is great to post the first ones, but lets let him have the honor!
I really want to have him post the first pics for all of us who can't be there. He started it and let him finish it!
We're all waiting!
Thanks ahead for giving Gary the honor he deserves!

There should be no other who has the honour!

I do agree. He has been so awsome through everything here.

Thanks y'all, but it's likely that I'm going to be a while before I get to post anything since today's going to be quite hectic for me.

I may get someone in attendance here to post a picture or two, if that's alright. :)

GOing to be worth every minute. Well done Gary and to everyone else that has helped in any way at all! When is her first flight?

I have about 300 pics of the nose art... ;) :lol:

I just spoke to Gary and to my Dad. It all went great and everyone is really impressed. Good news and bad news...

The good news is Gary said I can post some pics.

The bad news is, they are all at WORK! :shock: Doh.

Well then, you need to get yourself to work asap and post!

It's 0210 in Oz right now and I'm dying to see OL927's new persona.

Will it help if I say PLEASE

We're in luck! I forgot I had some on my server that I had sent to Warbird Digest... So hold on to your hats!

Here we are all finished with today's man of the hour. From left to right, Mike Hede, Sean Cowger, Gary, me (Chad Hill) and my Dad, Gary Hill.

Hope y'all like it. It was a lot of fun, an honor and a privilege, and like everything else on the ol' girl, a lot of work too.

Looks fantastic!!!! GREAT WORK EVERYONE!!! :drink3:

The nose art 24 reminds me of the old Warner Bros. / Walter Lance cartoon of the bomber dad who had the little son that wanted to be a jet! LOL :lol:
