Seeking some specific aircraft nicknames...

[trekkist]

...or nose art names, more likely, for a project involving a display of models with various female names. Can anyone provide references (make, model, conflict -- links would be great, but I'm OK with doing my own legwork) to aircraft bearing any of the following names:

Brenda, Nancy, Cindy, Lee Anne, Amie, Paula, Tonya

well....2 minutes of googling brought up plenty of pics with nose art with most of those names.......you might want to try that

If this project is to impress your GFs I'm SERIOUSLY impressed! 

When do you find time for modelling?

Beowulf, I've looked for way over 2 minutes, but my thoughts of a search phrase ("Planes named amie" "planes with girls names") hasn't worked out. Understand, I've gone through a lot of lists of nose art (and sites....and books...) and not found these particular names.

PR19_Kit, it's my thought to "represent" via a display the "work" of a lifetime...in a way my present GF finds both acceptable and amusing (for which read, silly). No man could hang pictures of his "conquests"...but a few little model planea with girls' names (or a historical nose art image) on 'em? Or (even better...from her perspective) various WWII fighters whose ID names happened to have been girls'...

That's a neat idea, and pleasurable to do as well. Best of luck with your search.

     I did one for a now former GF about 15 years ago. She liked the looks of the P-38 & the P-38 reminded me of her, (just think the 2 big ol' prop spinners make me think of her...... ). Anyway, I threw a 1/48 Revelogram kit together, found a nose art of a barely clad girl reading a book & the girl was wearing glasses even (don't recall its original a/c) (GF was a librarian, BTW, hence glasses & reading a book) & hand painted her nickname above it. She thought it was cool & had it on her desk at work.
