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:


Who on earth would want to be a jet?!

Gary, great job. It is so cool looking. I think the nose art looks very much like something that would have been put out during the WWII years.
