Wow, I go away for a few days and This is what I come back to
I do agree with Ryan on this subject but I don’t think I take such a hard line on the subject. As a Sailor, Once a Sailor always a Sailor, I can understand the military and historical aspects of the art. But I prefer the "family Friendly" nose art. Lil wasn't that bad in my mind, others are a bit over the top.
I was pretty happy when The Collings Foundation repainted the B-24. While I can't get into the Witch thing at least I could bring my Nephews to see the aircraft and not get in troubleor feel like I'm exposing them to something before the need to be. finding out "the Dragon" was one of the last B-24 to be melted down and it was pretty cool that it extended down the side of the aircraft made it unique, I could understand the choice. But I was happy to see it go.
I do think it comes down to who owes it, who pays the bills and what they decide.
It also comes down to what I choice to support and look at; So don’t whine to me when I won’t support your aircraft or cause when I don’t agree with it. And please don’t call me a Bigot or Raciest or Homo-phob when I disagree with you or what you are doing. Life is a 2 way street, some times we may be going the same way other times we are not going to. That is something for all sides to remember!
WW2 did not have Women in front line aircraft, So there was not Naked Men (at least in a Sexy kind of way) put on Aircraft. And the Men that thought it would be cool to put Naked men on aircraft where not the ones how generally stayed in the Military very long.
I do find humor and irony in the “Apocalypse Now” Quote. How often do we play the Hypocrite without realizing it.
