Yes. That is Bill as the Big Giant Head (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_Giant_Head).

I got to Justin Beiber on a Hornet tail and stopped looking...

I want the Maurice Richard and Guy Lafleur Hornets in decal form, 1/72. :D

Hmm, wonder if there's any chance of getting Lorne Green or James Doohan on there?  I'll take either over Shatner.

What about a real Canadian hero, surely there were even some who served in the RCAF, rather than over indulging the ‘importance’ of entertainers.

Well, there *was* Maurice Richard and Guy Lafleur. And they totes were real Canadien heroes!

Well, I'll still go for James Doohan for that since he flew Army cooperation aircraft during WW II if I remember correctly.

I wish the RAAF would do something similar.

At least they didn't to a Celine Dion scheme.

Would it have even more downtime than the Bieber Bomber?

Maybe not; but considering she went off to live in Vegas, I can already imaging the jokes about the new "(lounge) lizard scheme" that the crews might cook up.

I hope not...the options might be scary.

Have they got anything with a particularly loud, screeching exhaust note? It's be ironic to put Alanis Morrisette on it... ;)

Funniest thing I've seen in a year! They do a really good job on that site. The "Count Floyd" Twin otter flying in blood, by 440 "Vampires" squadron had me rolling on the floor for a good 5 minutes. If the 1/72 Twin Otter wasn't so flippin scarce, that would be the one I'd do.

Too late for that. The CF-104 with its distinctive screeching engine sound has long been retired.  ;D

I think the John Cleese Tornado would be a nice one.
