If you are not doing a specific aircraft, you can use your girlfriend's name, or you mother's or your wife's (but not all at the same time! #:-) ) Or a cartoon character fromthe time period, artwork from someone like Boris Vallejo, a pun on the enmey's name, man, the possibilities are endless. Even something like "Chip's Ship" or "Chip's Chopper", "Win One for the Chipper" , "Chip Ahoy" maybe witth a caricature of yourself. You get the idea

There are some cool pieces of nose art that look pretty easy to replicate. Go to the flight sim web site there is a page with all of them and more on it.

Cool ideas! You can integrate them with the previous posts.

If you have any problems I let me know, we'll get you the art if you want it.

Hi,

There is a pretty good stock of Nose Art images at Historic Wings , and you'll surely find some for the taking.

Look for the 'Pretty Deadly' feature article on their page.

BP.

PS: They also feature a monthly calendar download, which is IMHO, simply superb !!

Well If The plane is a Dark Color you Could Call it Black Betty (Old Song) But WOuldnt really match witht he period since the song wasnt created then Or you could call it Bam Bam Bugs And HAve Bugs Bunny on it. If its a Bomber or a Strafing type Plane You Could call it Ground Pounder. Or You could call it After What State the pilot is from like "Kentucky Killer" Or something. Thats all I can think of You Could Call It Komodo After the Komodo Dragon a Strong Animal Thats Very Deadly and Hard to Kill. Used to use that as my Callsign in old Flight Sims and In Multiplayer Flight sims
