A few tidbits. It is a C-130, and I think the artist intended it to be the gunship version. However, I don't know if you could even tell the difference from a sillouette. I'll have to ask him when I see him if it was the AC-130, or the 'regular kind'. ;) Another fun tidbit, the plane wasn't painted onto the lot, it was burned onto the lot with kerosene and propane weeding torches. Fun stuff! The neighborhood is an interesting one, mostly casino 'remote parking', and empty half-demolished buildings. There is a nice guy who squats in one nearby who owns a bunch of crazy wolf-dogs that protect the building. The dogs are nice once they get to know you though. The location is used for the Artica festival every year, http://www.artica.org, its a guerilla style art festival held in the fall. Very little organization, but lots of people come and do things of their own accord. Like burn images planes into the ground.
