I have in front of me an older book about the Canadian Airforce: Canadian Wings copyright 1990.
It shows a close up of the nose of a Buffalo SAR aircraft #458.
Just below the pilot's side window is the representation of a stork -complete to top hat and swaddled infant.
Below that are the silhouettes of two geese (I am assuming they're geese).
What I'm wondering is what these symbolize? I'm assuming the stork represents a baby being born on the aircraft.
What about the geese? Bird strikes? Succesful taskings?
And do SAR aircraft still use such markings?
