artistically altering aircraft has a long, hallowed past, from Peter Max repainting his Yogi's piper apache, to Calder painting a DC-8-62 into what was titled "flying colours": these tickle the senses and give beauty to graceful airplanes. I await Gonzo's thoughts.....

No. It was donated in 2011 to the museum for display. It's a Hawker HS.125 srs. 400A with RR Viper turbojet engines, so it was subject to EPA noise restrictions when Stage IV went into effect.

"Graffiti artist" in an oxymoron if there ever was one.

They should be refered to as 'Graffiti vandals'. Most are as artistic as bog-paper - but there again if your Banksy you could probably buy a plane for with that.
