My new career-on-the-side: "nose artist"!

[rottydaddy]

A local banner-tow pilot, who also happens to be an ex-student of my glider instructor and learned to fly in 94H (which I recently helped restore), was so enamored with my shark's mouth on 94H that he asked me to do the same on the L19 he tows banners with.
I managed to finish it yesterday- took about 12 hours over two days, including some time spent watching the paint dry, LOL. It was a lot harder than the glider, what with the oil cooler, air filter, latches, rivets, etc... not to mention the pretty bad condition of the existing paint ("olive drabbest")... but I like it.
Predictably, I did it not for money, but for some stick time- definitely looking forward to that.


Who's next?

Very cool! I like it. It looks especially scary against the current paint ...

We all know what it means when people talk about themselves in the third person.


Oh, and BTW, you missed a spot.

Oh, and BTW, you missed a spot.

There are a couple of spots that need touching-up, but I'm surprised you can make that out from the photo... or is it something else?
