Country: | Thanks for the photos. Did anyone notice that the "NATO" on the left wing is reversed, "OTAN"? Since NATO is correct of the side of the plane, it is not because the image was flipped. Any thoughts?

Country:  | No it is correct, the reason it is spelled that way is because it is the way the French Spell it.
NATO: North Atlantic Treaty Organization/Organisation
OTAN: Organisation du Traité de l'Atlantique Nord
If you look at the side of the aircraft as well (best seen in the first pic) it is spelled both ways.
NATO + OTAN
Here are some more pics to show you:

Country: | I have a couple of shots from the 80's. I will see if they are the same way. Do you know the purpose of reversing it? I thought that Bubbba from East Texas painted it.

DBII | Go back and read my post above. The answer is in the post.
OTAN is French for NATO:
OTAN: Organisation du Traité de l'Atlantique Nord

Country: | Makes perfect sense. What a waste of paint. As an english speaking person, just put OTAN on the damn thing and be done with it. Waste of paint for national pride.

Country:  | They are really nice photos those ones. I think OTAN is a French pride thing meaning that if necessary they can reserve the right to back out of any NATO problems in Europe in the 1980s. | |

Country: | For us Portuguese is not a matter of natonal pride!!
We don`t use the therm OTAN we allways say NATO, because sounds better!
I think we have no problem with that, probably it`s just a French thing.... | |
