OV-1 Mohawk
Not what would normally pop into your head as “romantic”, there are many though who think very romantically on their old rides! Those are really powerful memories pilots have of their aircraft even if they flew them into battle. It’s only human nature to think fondly of something you possibly risked your life or save your life. So while I might have that same memory, feeling, I sure have talked with enough vets to know they do. If I want my image of a “warbird” then to go out and touch heartstrings, yeah, they need to be romantic. And for those who never flew them, reaching out to them on a positive rather than a negative vibe I think is a strong visual way to tell the story. It’s kinda a win-win!
