They didn't have to hide the pictures in the cockpit - because they painted it on the nose - outside, for the world to see.

Here's the deal Jimmy Swaggert: the same people who are attracted to flying jets (and determined to fly them better than anyone else - ie, professionally) and seeing the world while doing it, just so happen to be the same who are not always concerned with your easily hurt feelings. So, if you don't like it, don't look. Stay in your room and watch PBS. But, don't think you can define professionalism in driving airplanes the same way you do in jobs at zero knots and zero feet - ie, management.
