In this video, we're privileged to explore Rodney's Vans RV 10, which has been painted as a tribute to the United States Armed Forces. It's incredible paint job was created by John Stahr of Artistic aviation. A TRUE military tribute airplane.
The airplane has over 30 induvial pieces of art representing the Army, Air Force, National Guard, Coast Guard, Navy and Marines. It includes iconic emblems and people of each branch. Like LT. General Chesty Puller, LT. Colonel Jeannie Leavitt, and General George Patton. Other parts of the plane have significant meaning too, and there are small details incorporated by the artist that further honor those who server. Seriously, this video hardly does the airplane justice.
Rodney is from Arizona, so you'll see little pieces of it all over. Like Pat Tillman, the USS Arizona, and the Camelback mountain range. Even his tail number hails back. N104AZ | Vans Aircraft RV 10 | For | Arizona. See what he did there?
One piece of art that I was unable to photograph is the top, where there is a missing man flying formation, but one of my favorite has to be the cowling, honoring The Tomb of the Unknown Soldier.
