OK, I figured I'd give you more of a car shot than one of me - this way your morning coffee will not do a "Danny Thomas". Now, if you remember/know about that, you're as old as I am!!! LOL!

The CAF B-24.

DJango,

That B-24 is my favorite CAF aircraft.

Are you still active with CAF? What wing? I notice that you live in Illinois but you were not a member of the CAF Great Lakes Wing. Our wing lost the C-47 and my commission runs out 30 April 2011; I am not re-enlisting under these circumstances.

Does your On-Line Screen Name Django have anything to do with the song by The Modern Jazz Quartet?

TonyM.
 
Thanks Tony. I'm not an active member as the $200/yr is pretty steep for me. But I always loved the CAF since I was a kid, and so far no one has complained that I'm not a member in spite of my contributions. I designed the Cobra Den artwork and Tshirts for the CenTex Squadron, a Tshirt for the Yellow Rose Squadron and I'm working on nose art for the Dixie Wing for the P-51 currently. I'm also working on nose art that I'm painting on the Grissom Air Museum's C-47 in April, nose art and Tshirts for their B-17, as well as a new identity/logo for the Museum itself. You've probably seen some of that stuff pop up on WIX.

"Django" is from the gypsy jazz guitarist Django Reinhardt, a moniker that I picked up back in my heavy swing dancing days. It seemed to fit as he was one of my guitar heroes and it kinda stuck. I play guitar in a rockabilly band as well.

I did an interview with Warbird Radio last week. Here's the link if anyone is interested.
