Camel Smoker nose art

I was just reviewing my digital pics from the Oshkosh fly-in and found these pics of the nose art on an experimental P51 Mustang.

You said "Camel Smoker Nose Art" and I'm picturing someone who smokes camels with tattoos on the side of his nose. (shudder)

Yep, those kinds of images would certainly be priceless in endearing Americans to the hearts of the residents of the middle east.

I'm sure that the military couldn't care less about that; but I would love to hear the tirade of "see how barbaric and irrational those brain-washed terrorist bastards are" if the spirit of these roles and images were reversed...

I thought it was funny in a politically incorrect sort of way. This is not a US military plane, it is a homebuilt replica that is about 5/8 scale and is powered by a 100 hp Rotax 4 cylinder.

Then I'm with you 100% - PC-incorrect can sometimes be worth a chuckle. Thanks for the clarification.
