#3 Mike: She can be the nose art on my B-17 any day

What exactly do you mean by that? ;-)

#5 Gorb - like this:Betty on the nose of a B-17

Many more examples, though the text is German, at here.

#6 The real nose art link is http://www.airventure.de/nose-art.htm and if you click on the Betty link, it's easy to miss her at the top of the page.

#7 Ahh, nose art, a blast from the not-so-PC-past. Most of the stuff from WWII wouldn't fly today (pardon the pun) because there would be some segment of society that took offense. We were restricted from writing messages on the bombs we were ropping during Desert Storm I due to fear of 'offending' somebody. But I guess death is OK.

#9 Another moron spamming a respected and respectable site. Mods, please see that this guy is not only removed, but forever banned. I'd prefer his being dropped from 35K onto a hard surface, but you take what you can get.

That's why I don't have Betty as the nose art on the B-17 I don't have...

Moderators, Troll cleanup on aisle one please.

#11 Mods: Re. the troll: It would probably be best to deny anything with over five links. Much of the spam that makes it through has a bazillion links like this guy.

#12 Cleaned up. Gorb, Fred has all sorts of filters installed. Sometimes stuff gets by, especially when he's got the hood propped up and is working on the engine.

#13 "Moderators, Troll cleanup on aisle one please."

Sorry guys, I'm no troll. What's this about?
