Default New Tail Art

My favorite plane of all time is the P51 D model. Now when I'm flying I can tell the tower: "I have two P51s on my tail!". Randy Nagle airbrushed "Double Trouble Two" and "Detroit Miss" on my plane. He is a real aviation historian and a heck of a nice guy. THANKS Randy. FYI: www.randynagle.com

Default I say we form a NW Squadron commemorating the Courage and Honor of the WWII Pilots.

Check out this SWEET, double prop, "Potential Tail Art" Spitfire.
