The Red Bull P-38 nose art-- she's hot BTW, and maybe it's just my mind unable to grasp what i see, but what is she sitting next to; laying her left hand atop? i see it has elements of insignia and an even smaller red bull, but i just don't see it! a helmet? no. lawn ornament? portal to another dimension? color me confused (my default state).

Yes, the object in the P-38 nose art is one of the Red Bull pilot's flight helmets (same photo I linked to in my previous post): https://www.flickr.com/photos/timjames1 ... 8/sizes/k/

My guess is nothing, but she's just done her nails and is blowing them dry.

The Curtiss Heritage Formation is excellent!!!! And the CR-42 is a real work of art....
Speaking of art, the Red Bull nose art is similar to Romain's but I don't think it is his work, has a different look to it. I may be wrong.....
