jgf Posted May 28, 2023 Share Posted May 28, 2023 Anyone recognize the logo on the gear covers of this Beech Staggerwing? (cropped from photos at airliners.net, hope this is acceptable) Aircraft is NC47024, owned by a lady in NC, many photos available; I actually saw this plane about thirty years ago at OSU airport. As it is one of the most attractive liveries I've seen on an aircraft, I'm recreating it for FS2004- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jgf Posted May 28, 2023 Author Share Posted May 28, 2023 Interesting, I searched for an hour, through Sherwin-Wiliams sites, company history sites, logo sites, and found no mention, much less an image, of this logo; is it still in use. (The SWP aircraft section does have some interesting photos of modern paint jobs.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the aircraft "Sherwin Williams" is under the logo, that's a variant I've not seen before. Always Aviate, then Navigate, then Communicate. And never be low on Fuel, Altitude, Airspeed, or Ideas.

I also find it interesting that although I have seen this logo on actual aircraft there is no official mention of it concerning SWP. I wonder if it developed from artistic license of those detailing the aircraft. Always Aviate, then Navigate, then Communicate. And never be low on Fuel, Altitude, Airspeed, or Ideas.
