THAT'S RIGHT! AEROPLANE OC JUST DROPPED!
Meet Cora! She is a Curtiss JN4 "Jenny" that served as a navy trainer during the First World War.
She was stationed at Pensacola NAS from 1917-1919 where she helped many future American aces earn their wings. She sports a peculiar paint scheme for a navy aircraft: a brown and natural canvas colored fuselage as well as natural colored wings. She's served many roles in the military and carried multiple paint schemes throughout her career, but this one will always be her favorite from her years in the service.
After the war she was decommissioned and exchanged hands between multiple private pilots. She was part of the early air mail service then became a barnstormer during the Roaring Twenties and interwar period. Her stylized eyes are painted on and are made to resemble the eyeliner of flapper girls from this era. She, like many of her sisters, has survived into modernity and remains in perfect flying condition. She enjoys still getting to perform daring stunts and teaching young pilots all of the flying knowledge she has gained over her many, many years. She lives at Olde Rhinebeck Aerodrome in New York with other aeroplanes from the early years of aviation.
Heavily referenced blueprints and model vector artwork for her ref sheet. Still figuring out how to make aeroplanes "expressive"
