Nose Art Photos Wanted
I'm an EAA member and I've just started a new online aviation and motoring magazine and one of the regular features is about "Nose Art & Numbers". Please send me any interesting nose art (or unique aircraft registration numbers) for inclusion in the next issue of Speedi Wings & Wheel. Included in the next issue will be a full length feature about EAA's Ford Tri-motor - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vE9PwcMe33A

Here's one for you! It's from a KC-135R Stratotanker that I flew extensively (including on one very memorable RED FLAG exercise!) while I was stationed at Fairchild AFB, Washington in the early '90s. The aircraft's tail number was 64-14840. The nose art didn't survive the politically correct Clinton years, and has long since been removed. The aircraft was reputed to be the last R-model tanker delivered to the USAF, and now may be assigned to the Ohio Air National Guard. It was a great airplane to fly, and this nose art was my absolute favorite!

How about some authentic WWII nose art? This P-47 cowling is on display at the EAA AirVenture Museum, on loan from the Grissom Air Museum. It is from a P-47D-25-RE, serial # 42-26637, coded VM-P, as flown by Maj. General William Kepner when he was commander of 8th Air Force Fighter Command circa 1944. It's the real deal.
