Show Me II Nose Art

Description

Last September I was a guest of the 509th Bomb Wing at the reactivation ceremony for the 13th Bomb Squadron at Whiteman AFB. While there, we were allowed to photograph the B2. This is a retouched photo of the main gear door on the Spirit of Missouri. Having a little fun, I added some Nose Art. I did design the actual graphics that are on the aircraft, but they aren't as exciting.

The red material around the edges is to protect the ground crew from getting cut on the razor sharp edges. The crew chief informed us that tatanium cuts take forever to heal.

The Nose Art was done in Adobe Illustrator CS2, retouched in PSCS2 on an Apple G5.

As a native Missourian, I'd be proud to have this B-2 display your incredible art! I was one of the lucky ones to see the 1st public showing of this beauty out at Edwards AFB back in '93. She's sure something else!!
