That was the best pussy he ever had and now he has to spend Christmas awkwardly pretending nothing happened while their reconciled parents encourage them to get to know one another better.

They're planning on going to see the new Star Wars together. I mean, can you imagine anything more awkward than Luke and Leia reminding you for two damn hours that you've been balls deep in your sister's asshole and she licked it clean after? Balls deep, anon. In his sister's asshole. Making wookiee noises all night long.

No, not at all.

Bomber nose art was a cool thing. Pinups were popular, but far from the only ting.

Flak Bait is one of the most famous planes of the war, and THE most famous plane, Enola Gay, was named for the pilot's mother.

The backup plane, that bombed Nagasaki, was named Bock's Car. The pilot was named Fred Bock.

Also there was a B-17 with the 8th AF named Sweet Pea that was named after a 4 year old war orphan that the bomb squadron basically adopted. They had her dip her hand in paint and put a hand print on the nose.

In addition to this, there was a lot of nose art with looney tunes and disney characters, or dudes, or whichever.

Actually the Sweet Pea suffered a major flak impact which nearly tore the plane in two. Two of the crew were killed and a few others injured but the plane miraculously held together long enough to make it back to base.

The plane was actually repaired and flew in several more combat missions before crashing during a take-off accident in '45

I'm gonna be honest, I don't see why they should have bothered taking them off. First off all, they're not exactly in an active combat situation, as I understand, they're trying to focus on recruitment, so keeping those things on and letting the new recruits fly those around will continue to bring in recruits.

Plus I think even if Japan did get involved in a fight, they should keep those on for the first month because I could imagine their enemies freezing up with a severe case of "what the fuck?"

Fun fact - most aircraft in boneyards are mothballed but left in, basically, operational condition.

If the US ever finds itself in a serious military situation where existing aircraft aren't enough (like fucking WWIII levels of shitstorm), basically every aircraft in storage at these facilities could be fixed up and ready for combat within a matter of weeks.

There's issues with what image you're trying to portray and militaries are usually not allowed to make killing machines look silly.

Like, if I were to paint that on the side of an apache or some such (And this would happen with any military) and it was shown to the public like those helicopters were, it would turn into a huge scandal cause you'd have a large section of people wondering why I'm not taking my job (killing the enemy) seriously and making it seem like some big joke.

Certain nose art is okay, but big silly anime girls would be over the line

you can get away with other forms of nose art but it is generally small, tame, and subdued. Also, it has to be approved by a few channels before it gets allowed and good luck getting it approved during peacetime.
The big exception is the 23rd fighter groups A-10s with their shark's teeth nose art that are sanctioned due to tradition

Source: I've been briefed on similar topics

>>78195136
>basically every aircraft in storage at these facilities could be fixed up and ready for combat within a matter of weeks.
They actually did this recently with a B-52, pretty interesting story

Also, not every aircraft is able to be rebuilt, there are a lot of B-52s that are chopped up for START treaty agreements and plenty of aircraft that are stripped for parts
>>
>>78195255
True, there's plenty that can't be rebuilt, but the point is that for every plane that's actively flying now, there's 30-40 that could be reactivated if we ever needed them.
>>
I like this thread a lot.
>>
>>78195291

The US has the first largest Air force in the active AF, the second with the Navy, the third with the Marines, and the fourth sun tanning in the desert just in case.

Additionally, it now has more tanks than every other country combined because the congress forgot to turn off the factories and we've been pumping out Abrams non-stops for decades.

It's ridiculous how OP America has become, and yet Chinks and Rusdians keep wailing about the impending doom of America.

Interesting read, though when you put it like:
>t would turn into a huge scandal cause you'd have a large section of people wondering why I'm not taking my job (killing the enemy) seriously and making it seem like some big joke.

It kind of makes people's reactions to such things seem ridiculous and dumb. I mean, shit, as a civilian, I say if my military wants to paint cute girls and silly pictures on their death machines, then let them, they need outlets for their feelings and thoughts too.

And shit, now I'm imagining someone making the "most minimal Loss" comic into nose art.

The tough part is is when they're taxpayers. When taxpayers make a stink, congress makes a stink, and then everything stinks.

Another interesting thing (and I've hears multiple accounts of this) where a group or unit was chastised for their facilities looking too nice because it would send the wrong idea to the taxpayer: that, even though it may not have actually cost any extra to do it, the military was wasting money on fancy billets or some such

None of you would be painting anything on yours.

Paint was something you were expected to apply yourself in World War 1, as a means of camouflage. Except some individuals, particularly suicidal ones like Baron von Richthofen, painted theirs in striking colors so they'd get engaged. Eventually towards the end they figured out effective patterns rather than sibgle colors work best. Also painting the top of the plane like the ground, bottom like the sky.

For WW2, the nations quickly phased out any remnants of WW1 tactics (the US entered WW2 with biplanes still in service) and focused on unpainted planes since oaint weighs more than its worth in camo, and anything camo would save is better off flying at night (something not feasible in most cases in WW1). Some pilots, especially American ones, were allowed to paint parts of their plane in logos or basic colors to boost morale. Since these paint jobs were decided on by the pilot and someone in the crew had to do it, they varied in theme and quality greatly.
But as footage of the front came out as historical reels in the 50's, along with surviving planes being used patriotically in parades, people back home realized that good ol' dad was flying a bomber with a picture of mommy dearest naked with legs spread while uncle had Mickey Mouse giving the middle finger with a bomb between his legs like a boner on his.

So from that point on, you can have a simple and approved emblem for your squadron in some cases like a picture of a jack of clubs poker card or a shooting star on the back wing, but its strictly regulation only. Planes now are basically just their material, no paint unless its an airshiw piece or indicates service branch.

USAAC aircraft in ww2 stopped wearing camo paint because those types were assigned to fly high-altitude escort where getting as high up as possible, and therefore carrying as little weight, was vital. Medium and low-altitude aircraft still sported camo patterns, as did fighters not strictly assigned for high-altitude escort.

Camo paint only started getting phased out of US air fleets when radar was sufficiently powerful to outrange optical scopes and BVR combat between aircraft became a serious thing. Even today the "non-camo" paint used on US and other aircraft are specially designed universal low-visibility greys with some radar absorbent elements, so it's still a camouflage patter, just one that just doesn't rely on the local environment. However, several countries still practice environmental camouflage patterns on their aircraft for more than tradition's sake. Camo has always been more about hiding the planes on the ground than in the air to begin with.

I'm not trying to start anything, I'm just a giant dork.
