I like the historic look too, but It looked pretty good in the Lady Jo scheme. I like that a lot better than the Jelly Belly scheme.

This?

Since I'm a Cheesehead, I vote for a polished WI ANG scheme. :)

Re: Jelly Belly. It goes without saying, the owner can do ANYTHING he wants to with HIS airplane, but the guys taste is all in his mouth. That's an abomination.

Mudge the aesthete :wink:

Watch your tongue Brandon!
I know what one of those looks like.
I heard your were going for the RED BULL JELLY BEAN sponsorship on your T-6. It'll look like it has measles with all those red jelly beans stuck all over it!

Ya know, there's a lot of things said here about the Jelly Belly scheme -- the "Sparky" boys don't really get all that much money for this, and I'll bet if some wealthy WIXer (!?!) offered them a bit more per year those Jelly Beans would peel right off!
