"Let's Roll!" -- America's two-word marching order in the fight against terrorism -- is displayed on various aircraft throughout the Air Force as a way of recognizing the heroes and victims of the Sept. 11 attacks on the United States.
The words were made famous by Todd Beamer, a passenger on Flight 93. Beamer, a 32-year-old businessman, Sunday school teacher, husband, father and hero, led other passengers in fighting terrorists for control of Flight 93 before it crashed into a field in western Pennsylvania. He was overheard on a cellular phone reciting the Lord's Prayer and saying "Let's roll!" as passengers charged the terrorists.
The nose art design depicts an eagle soaring in front of the U.S. flag, with the words "Spirit of 9-11" on the sword blade and "Let's Roll!" on the bottom. The design was created by Senior Airman Duane White, a journeyman from USAF Air Combat Command's multimedia center at Langley Air Force Base, Va. The Thunderbirds and other Air Force demonstration teams will apply this nose art on all aircraft, while major commands and wings have been authorized to apply the nose art to one aircraft of their choice.

Okay, some of you Galz were asking last night about men as nose art. Here is the decoration on a B-52 seen at the Malta Interanational Air Show in September 2003.

You know, El, ever since I
quit watching TV after THE
election of Dubya, things
are falling into place.
Surely, it's all Bush's fault.

Aircraft nose art - what an interesting thread that's been woven into our culture. References and homages to WWII-era Nose Art turn up once in a while - on album/CD covers and such, for one example:
Add the following site to your list of "nose art" links:
http://www.rareybird.com
That website is worth a peek; George Rarey was a talented cartoonist and painted the cowling of his P-47, as well as those of several of his squadron mates:

Oh. Then someone must be impersonating Mojo! Minus the fabulous tan, of course.
