ian_maw Posted April 1, 2013 Share Posted April 1, 2013 The annual inspirational article from Gatineau http://www.vintagewings.ca/VintageNews/Stories/tabid/116/articleType/ArticleView/articleId/410/language/en-CA/Tails-of-Glory.aspx Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Litvyak Posted April 1, 2013 Share Posted April 1, 2013 Those are pretty nifty! I am minorly environmentalist-y but unlike those who complained I love that David Suzuki is one of the chosen ones, but I do find slightly offensive the selection of Pamela Anderson and Justin Bieber. The latter because we have /so/ many better singers, the former because... who is she? Nobody, really... starred in one mindless TV series? She's not even all that attractive. That all aside, I want decals (in 1/72) of the Maurice Richard and Guy Lafleur Hornets!!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
sharkey Posted April 1, 2013 Share Posted April 1, 2013 Those are all awesome! Very cool idea. " The Beiber Bomber" hahah :woot.gif: Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Litvyak Posted April 1, 2013 Share Posted April 1, 2013 "slightly offensive"? Guess how I know you've never heard him? :rofl:/> You're right, I go out of my way not to hear him. And that's not even a joke, I've never heard him. And I intend to keep it that way! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Big Daddy Posted April 1, 2013 Share Posted April 1, 2013 (edited) I love how, at the end of the article, you can "Click Here" and make your own suggestions. Gotta love an Air Farce with a sense of humour. GO RCAF!! :thumbsup:/> BD Edited April 1, 2013 by Big Daddy Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Flyboyf18 Posted April 1, 2013 Share Posted April 1, 2013 That's going to be expensive to get all those decals!!!?!!!? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mingwin Posted April 1, 2013 Share Posted April 1, 2013 that was a really nice April's fool! really nicely done! ...and all the time i did scroll down the page, looking at all those "unbelievable" tail arts, saying to myself "what the heck".... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Litvyak Posted April 1, 2013 Share Posted April 1, 2013 Okay so I swallowed it. Bleh. But it's not my fault - it was up yesterday, and April First is today! :P Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RiderFan Posted April 1, 2013 Share Posted April 1, 2013 The first person that comes to me asking for the Justin Bieber decals gets sent to bed without any supper. Also, I find the lack of Sarah McLachlan disturbing. Clearly, whoever created this, has no taste in music. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

You know you should do one of those just for a yuck, I'd build the kit, but then I'm a sucker for jokes!!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
huntermountain Posted April 1, 2013 Share Posted April 1, 2013 I was about half way through the page before I started to suspect something. But what the heck, the photoshopping is awesome. And my favourite part is about the outrage of environmentalists. Nice touch. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dylan Posted April 1, 2013 Share Posted April 1, 2013 THAT WAS AWESOME!!!!!!!! I almost spit out my tea when I saw the snowbirds..we need decals for (most) of these. I need to have a twotter with count Floyd on it. and a CP-140 with bubbles on it would be sweet as well Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I will ask him the next time I see him why there was no Sarah McLachlan. Sean Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Av8fan Posted April 1, 2013 Share Posted April 1, 2013 I liked the Count Floyd one. That one, I think would have been great. The line about one of the jets having a 20% increase in availability once the tail "art" had been removed was classic. Can't even mention that name. Gack! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
KursadA Posted April 1, 2013 Share Posted April 1, 2013 (edited) They could have selected just a couple of the fake tail art they have done, and it would have been a very good and tastefully executed April Fools' Day feature. But noo, they just had to go overboard with dozens of ridiculous versions and completely spoil it. I couldn't stand reading until the end.

Mercury Posted April 1, 2013 Share Posted April 1, 2013 Fitting to have two hosers, Bob and Doug, on a Sea king!! Polaris with Hadfield is awesome, and should be a realistic tail... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
phantom Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 Did you notice how dirty the Hornet was with that plastic boobed girl from the 80s? That was suitable, I wouldn't touch THAT creature with Captain Kirks (on a Airbus) thingamaboober after he played with several green chicks. Did like the Hoser Sea King and who wouldn't like the Geddy Lee Hornet? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I was thinking about Beiber decals.. good thing I didnt say anything .. hahah And, youre right about Sarah McLachlan. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Flyboyf18 Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 As an added note re Sarah McLachlan she should be on a bird somewhere, maybe soon, as she is the Honourary Colonel for (IIRC, too lazy to look it up right now) 417 Sqn!!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

AX 365 Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 Even if someone thought things were blown overboard with dozens of ridiculous versions that prevented them from reading the entire article to the end, I thought it was very well done. Some of those pieces of art are actually quite convincing. I really liked the one with Anne Murry on the tail of the Snowbirds. How fitting as it was one of her biggest hits, if not the biggest. Mike 'Bubbles' Smith should have been on a Hornet though. All in all, a fun read and a great concept and story by the writer. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
