I think I hope there's a source other than the daily fail.

I also think it's my thread now :p

Horrible! It's an honored tradition dating back to WW1! Very, very sad.

Officials admitted they had no record of any complaints from the 5,400 women in the RAF.

So, what does NS general think of this?

What the heck...timewarp times 2?!

Meh, big deal. If your kind wanted to be artists dropping bombs on people is probably not the best job choice anyway.

I'd like to know who is willing to fly a plane with Michelle Marsh on it myself

and I have to say this is fairly pointless, odds are it will be ignored anyway

Yeah, the only ones who seem to care are people who want to bitch and moan about the PC Brigade.

What a bunch of goatshit.

um you do know USMC is an American...right?

I think he meant the military kind of people.

thats shit and who ever put the story togther should shot for this part
Memphis Belle: A traditional pin-up adorns the RAF plane
it's was a USAAF plane

if anything its going to increase the amount of art what with pilots trying to look "bad ass" and such

though I'd much rather have some more original pictures myself, maybe some surrealism hell even neoclassical would look good

Is it just me, or is the body of a plane like, the perfect place to paint like a cock? Or a cigar? Or both?

...it is the daily mail, come to think of it can we have a newspaper source for this story?

but the last thing you want to show orphans when you blow up there home is a giant cock! think of the children! :p

edit: timewarps hate me

Maybe we could paint it like a carrot or a sausage. You know, as kind of a "HAHAHAAHAH YOU HAVE NO FOOD PITIFUL STARVED ONES AND NOW YOU HAVE NO HOME OR PARENTS! HAHAHAHAH!!! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!" to them.

If I were flying a plane over enemy territory, I'd want some camoflague.

I think the plane is phallic enough on it's own :p

You can never have enough Freud.

If I ever get a private jet, I'm painting it like that.

find one from The Sun but can't post a link to it because of the second photo ;)

Maybe you should fly your mother around in your Cockplane. And make sure to have some nice long rifles in there too.

The justification seems very... patronizing. I quote:
"If you have women flying aircraft and working on them as engineers then these kinds of pictures are inappropriate," he said.
Macho, sexist, and patronizing? Definitely. "We can't have these pictures because women work in the RAF" is what they are saying.

Bull. The question of whether or not the pictures are appropriate has nothing to do with whether or not women work on the planes or fly them.

SNIP

might as well just put some screen shots from stealth on it, the poor buggers never knew what hit em :(

ebil terrorist: oh look a flying heap of grass, nothing unusual LA LALA

I don't get it. If nobody has complained, what's the problem?

I don't see what the problem is. It's not as though a woman can't paint a topless man with bronze rippling muscles on her plane.

Maybe you should fly your mother around in your Cockplane. And make sure to have some nice long rifles in there too.

Maybe I should invite the NRA.

Nose Art has a long history in military aviation and by no means all is feminine in content. Naming aircraft is still done by some commercial airlines. Perhaps the best being the fondly-remembered PAA clippers. (PAA even used "clipper" as it's ATC designation.)

Seems to me that who ever is putting their life on the line flying the plane ought to be able to paint a small part of it however they like...

Hmm. Painting sexually provocative women on your explosive-shitting death machine is obscene.

Nutty.

What do you suppose they paint around the bomb ha-

THE REST OF THIS POST HAS BEEN CENSORED BY THE PEOPLE'S MORALITY FRONT. MOVE ALONG, NOTHING TO SEE HERE.

:(

That was one of the fun parts in customizing my plane in this flight simulator game I played.

At any rate, I don't see what the big deal is. At the most maybe they can 'censor' or propose regulations, not ban the whole concept.
