“It’s painted by John Stahr. I provided the canvas, the bodywork, and my life with my wife, Nan Wu, provided the inspiration,” Douglas Taylor said. “It’s based on our past 20 years of marriage. We call it East meets West. She was born in China and came to the U.S. later in life, fell in love with it, and later found me. The West side of the airplane is all about America, our adventures as a couple in America, including our favorite place of hiking around the Grand Canyon. The eastern side of the airplane of course is dedicated to her ‘hometown’ of China and the Great Wall. The graphic on the bottom of the plane is inspired by the old traditional Chinese love story, their equivalent of Romeo and Juliet, which is the story of the butterfly lovers.”
