Airventure 2016: My Favorite Things

[Floatsflyer]

If there really was a "topless lady in body paint" I am sure there were the usual lot of photographers around. Please post some photos so that the rest of us can asses this problem and join in any outrage that is needed.

Yes, there really was such a lady who had numerous pics taken in front of the Galaxy on Boeing Square. Some of those pics were posted here a few weeks ago but our modest, prudish moderator removed the thread. I have just one thing to say: they were real and they were spectacular!

Thank you moderator. It was not appropriate conduct for the convention, and it is not appropriate content for this forum.

Thank you Reverend Covey, aka the arbiter of appropriateness. What's next...book burning.

Floats, what does it say about human nature that if you took the photo of the topless lady, designed by God or at least nature to produce and nurture human life, and put that photo on the side of a bomber, then the photo would probably become sanatized and acceptable to most people and such as the many vintage type t shirts and calendars for sale. Have you seen the unique collection the CAF has of actual paintings of ladies from the side of WWII bombers?

And by the way, since I didn't see the lady in person or by photo would you say this was a matter of factory original or a accurate reproduction? Sometimes hard to tell from a distance, but like airplanes, both have their place.
I didnt spend much time down by the galaxy, but did appreciate the ladies that were at EAA, otherwise lots of old guys. I enjoy having young people there also, wish there were even more of them.

I didnt spend much time down by the galaxy, but did notice that EAA would be improved by more ladies to offset the abundance of old guys.

Bill, you make an excellent point with your analogy of WW11 nose art. Btw, pictures of the CAF nose art that you speak of that is currently on exhibit at the EAA Museum was posted on this forum on November 30, 2015 under Warbirds by Zack. How 'bout that for hypocrisy. Byron though probably would recognize this hypocrisy as "appropriate" because it's associated with death, destruction, warfare and waving the flag.

So riddle me this Byron, how come it's appropriate to have the naked female nose art exhibited at EAA Museum but not a photograph of a painted nude female body on an EAA Forum?

Bill, totally agree with your last line. EAA are you paying attention, budget this line item for next year, thank you, thank you very much. :>)

If, by the "reverend" comment you are suggesting that I am preaching, you are wrong. I was stating my opinion, which is that the moderator did the correct thing in removing the photo. I don't care what you think.

I have no opinion on the nose are that you are referring to, because I have not seen it. I have seen nose art that, although it may have been historically accurate, was not, in my opinion, suitable for display in the general public.

I also have seen totally nude, painted females in public, and deemed it inappropriate too. I do not find the bare human body to be lewd, and I am not opposed to nude women in appropriate venues. I just think that the EAA Forum is not an appropriate venue. YMMV

BTW, do you guys ever wonder why there is not more participation in this forum?

Lack of pictures of nude women? ;-)

Seriously, I agree that the naked chick had no business at Oshkosh and the photos were inappropriate for this forum...

[Bill Greenwood]

I didnt see the lady down at Gallaxy, it is possible that something that most adults might think was in good fun, even artistic might not be the best thing at Oshkosh where there are lots of children around.
Anyway, much as I dislike censorship. we shouldn't letdifferent tastes in something minor like this, interfere with friends on the forum.
I was trying to have a bit of fun with the subject.

Was she arrested or ejected from the Airventure grounds for indecent exposure? If so, then perhaps posting a picture might be inappropriate. Otherwise it is simply a chronicle of the events.
