 The 142nd Wing is honoring one of its former crew chiefs by displaying unique memorial artwork on one of its jets. The artwork was put on Aircraft 151 in memory of Master Sergeant Marty Nance, who served at Portland Air National Guard Base for over 30 years before he passed away in early 2018. In June, the newly applied artwork was revealed to Marty's family and friends. In the beginning when I found out that his name was going on the jet, that was super special because it just said a lot for how everybody felt about him out here. They picked 151 because it was his jet prior, and it couldn't be a more fitting thing. Marty was known for his quiet knowledge, good nature, and artistic abilities both on and off the job. Along the way, Marty developed a fondness for incorporating sharks into his artwork and projects. When I found out about the artwork with the shark's teeth and stuff, it just was all very fitting because that was his thing. For some reason, he got fixated on sharks a long time ago. Anything you see with shark, most of his friends and all his family always think of Marty. So this is a great way to carry on the tradition of Marty, his jet, you know, with his signature. In 2004, the Widmer Brothers sponsored the sled derby on Mount Hood, and Marty's brainchild was he got the team together to build a sled shark, and so we did, and it kind of fit with the whole thing. Marty and sharks went together like peanut butter and jelly. Those who are lucky enough to know Marty remember him for the positive impact he made in the lives of the people around him. He's missed, that's for sure, you know, not only his friendship, but just his compassion. Reporting for the 142nd Wing, I'm technical sergeant Steph Sawyer.
