Nose Art Bans
The British MoD banned the use of pin-up women in nose art on Royal Air Force aircraft in 2007, as commanders decided the images (many containing naked women), were inappropriate and potentially offensive to female personnel, although there were no documented complaints.
In 1993 the United States Air Force Air Mobility Command ordered that all nose art should be gender-neutral.

Famous quotes containing the words nose and/or art:
“If your nose is up in the air, you cannot see where you are going.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
“A book should contain pure discoveries, glimpses of terra firma, though by shipwrecked mariners, and not the art of navigation by those who have never been out of sight of land. They must not yield wheat and potatoes, but must themselves be the unconstrained and natural harvest of their author’s lives.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
