Okay I found it, I dont know why I did not scan it. I will scan it tomorrow and put it online. On All American on the other side it is a non nude pin up girl holding a beer, sitting on the world that has wings behind it and the world has a banner draped over it and it says Schlitz.
Here is the art on both sides as it appeared in April of 2004. I am looking forward to seeing what it looked like when you saw it, Adler. These are crops so that you can see the artwork a bit better.
Why? There is an old Hebrew adage that says "It's better to do the right thing for the wrong reason than to not do the right thing at all." I am sure that it was people who donated a substantial amunt of money. I think it is a fitting way to thank them.
Cool shot, Adler. I wonder if Schlitz had some sort of corporate sponsorship to get the logo. Could be the crew chief liked Schlitz though, I suppose.
The names may not look original, Lanc, but there are shots of American bombers with peoples signatures on them for a variety of reasons; 1000th one made, one that has completed 50-100 missions and is sent back to the states for war bonds drives, etc.
Thanks all
I have seen the "Shultz" girl before while looking for nose art but never thought it was the same bomber. I will try to find out if the bomber will be painted all new or just one side. Your pictures are all nice.
Lanc, the names are of volunteers who have worked on the plane and also those who crew her over the summer. It can look odd, but remember how much work gose into this and well the names are a fitting way to say thanks.
