I don't see why they wouldn't like it. It's free promotion. I guess it
also depends on the type of aircraft. Painting a Cherokee like a Blue
Angel seems a bit less cool than an L-39.

Here's one that Don McNamara did to a Grumman AA1B.

The 1980's era Jolly Rogers paint scheme has got to be one of, if not THE
coolest military paint schemes. That one on the Grumman came out very nice.

Yep. Don apparently did quite a bit of research into it and created a
pretty accurate copy of their paint scheme. For whatever reason (probably
the sliding canopy), you seem to see a lot of the Grummans with
"different" paint schemes, although more so in the 2-seaters than in the 4-
seaters.

"Every Once In A While Baby!"

Doesn't have quite the same ring as "Anytime Baby!" but it's close...
