Iver Tranes	General	Love the nose art! I wonder what the "tattoo" on the "cheek" (under the corner of the windshield) means.	4/15/2013 7:25:42 AM

Chuck Zeiler	General	I think you are referring to is the grab iron and shadow of same, which almost appears to be an arrow or fish shape. This shape of grab iron was intended to hold a ladder in place when an employee needed to get up on the nose to wash the windshield or replace wipers.	4/15/2013 10:17:16 AM

Iver Tranes	General	Yup! Now that you explained it, I see it correctly. Thanks!	4/15/2013 10:27:48 AM
