Most of us in aviation have played, at one time or another, with a radio control or RC plane. Some of us excel at it and become pros with the model… twisting and turning it around the sky with ease and generally looking good while doing it.
Then there are those of us, like me, who miserably fail — after spending hours building up a model, working with a pro as a trainer, and finally taking the step to “solo” only to sadly walk home with a pile of parts at the end of the day. Yep, that was me.
In any case, RC pilots are passionate about their hobby and can sometimes spend thousands of dollars on aircraft, radios, engines and other equipment… kind of like the money some of us spend on tattoos… but without the equipment!
This tattoo was created by artist Jay Ski of 603 Tattoo Company in Salem, NH. Based on the notes on his site, this tattoo was done on his fiancee — most likely in honor of her father based on the “dad” on the nose.
