Re: Hideous Paint Jobs

The "Iron Maiden" plane is actually flown by the lead singer, who flies for a British airline in 737's. It was used on their (2007/2008 ?) world tour. He became a pilot after his drummer learned to fly. Figured "if a drummer can do it, why can't I ...". :lol:

^^^^ hahahaha. I like how the bass player is at the rear end of the evolutionary timeline.

Lips or fingers? What's more evolved? Crazy brass guys sure have a high opinion of themselves.... ;)

Re: Hideous Paint Jobs

The flowered DC-3 is actually a decal job. The owner had it done up with art done by kiddos at a children's cancer center and then flew it low and slow around the place for them to see. It's actually the same DC-3 featured in an AOPA article a few years ago about getting a type certificate in the Gooney Bird. http://www.thedc-3network.com/ I did my CFI renewal with a gentleman named Charlie who was left seat when a gear linkage gave way and it did a nice little ground loop and had to be repaired during the time of the story.
