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!
Jerry

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. :)

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.

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.

Can you tell it had been a long 4 days?

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:
