The 171st Air Refueling Wing, near Pittsburgh, is proud to host a fleet of KC-135s with hand-painted nose art. This video features the painting of the newest masterpiece of the fleet, painted on lead crew chief, Master Sgt. John Blinkey’s #0074, by local artist Donna Mrdjenobich, on Sept. 16-18, 2018. Donna is a beloved family member of the 171st and has painted all five of the current aircraft nose art, often featuring highlights of the Pittsburgh area.
