Military Nose Art Photo Collection

Nose art on a F-15E Strike Eagle.

Photos by Scott Zeno and Ken Kula

Personalization of an aircraft can represent aircrew, maintenance personnel, or an entire Squadron, Group or Wing. Some artwork is purely ceremonial, but many examples can be sentimental… attributed to a past aircraft or aviators with the same aircraft name.

A nostalgic moment… a former pilot autographing his F-14 Tomcat

Here’s a group of nose art photos that we’ve taken along the way:
