FILE--A Canadian CH-47D Chinook helicopter with nose art is shown at Kandahar Airfield in Afghanistan, on March 24, 2009. It is a lost art form for Canada's air force, a splash of colour and personality on the sun-bleached landscape from an institution better known for its subdued hues and camouflage. The military tradition of nose art painted on combat aircraft has been resurrected, on a relatively modest scale, by the ground crews who service Canada's recently acquired CH-47D Chinook and CH-146 Griffon helicopters at Kandahar Airfield.
