I was building my gun muzzle art section today and notice I'm missing some of the art in high rez. jackb do you have \"The Punisher\", \"Lady liberty\", and \"POW/MIA\" in high rez?

For those who have never seen this art here’s a couple of shots, it's way cool….

I'm emailing them to you right now.

Thanks Jack, down loading now. BTW what year was this 2004?

No, these were all taken in Jan/Feb 2006, some in Al Udeid and some in Bagram when we were swapping over with the Bulldogs.

Thanks again jackb, I'll be sure to document that info this time.

jackb,
How are the gun muzzles painted? I've never seen any like that before and am interested in possibly starting it up at my fix. Let me in on the secret.

The Bulldogs' muzzles weren't painted. They were laser-etched.

When 187 was in phase in Bagram and the muzzle was off, someone from backshop, I think it was egress actually, painted the muzzle. The DCC was ticked off, and rightfully so in my opinion, for two reasons. 1- it was his jet, not theirs, and he wasn't asked, and 2- the design they painted had already been done.
No doubt that person had seen the Bulldog jet and just did it over. I cant remember if it was removed or wore off very quickly, but I don't remember seeing it on the jet for more than a week or so.



Last year we got a laser etching machine in support. They got it at the end of the fiscal year, had leftover $ in the budget and it had to be spent. The thing cost $41,000. You know what we etch with it? Nothing for work.
Here's a pic of my wallet (it looks better in person)
