^ Wow!  :o

What's the story behind this one? Always thought the Iranians didn't have that many Su-22s. Only a couple of "adopted" Iraqi Fitters.
This looks like some trials unit.
Cheers,

Must, then, my projects bend to the iron yoke of a mechanical system? Is my soaring spirit to be chained down to the snail's pace of matter?

That Iranian Fitter is a pleasant surprise

That spanish one looks like a girlie shark on a night out after having applied waaaay to much lipstick.. :ph34r: :ph34r:

Not quite sure if it is a shark or perhaps an angry rhino...who cares, the nose of the new Turkish F-4E Simsek is wonderful:

I don't think it's nice, you laughin'. You see, my mule don't like people laughin'. He gets the crazy idea you're laughin' at him. Now if you apologize, like I know you're going to, I might convince him that you really didn't mean it.

If that doesn't get the ideas flowing nothing will!!!  :wub:

Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

Found this Luftwaffe RF-84F on Airliners.net, the Germans pull out the stops when it comes to final service schemes.  Probably one of the most fearsome looking nose art I've seen on an aircraft!  I like the roughly painted stripes that no JMN would believe you if you turned up with a model painted that way.

Another one that's a little bit different, shark in patriotic colours!

Smashing Tucano!! Wouldn't like to put the decals on that!!

Meanwhile have you seen that Iranian F-4Es have been wearing sharkmouths?....in one of the current aviation mags, browsed in Smiths.

And here's another sharkmouth....

Yeah, that's pretty aggressive!  I've got one of the Rising Decals sheets with that shark (beast?) mouth, I've wondered what I could put it on.
