00:00.740 --> 00:03.060
The 142nd Wing is honoring one of its

00:03.060 --> 00:05.282
former crew chiefs by displaying unique

00:05.282 --> 00:07.460
memorial art work on one of its jets .

00:08.140 --> 00:10.740
The artwork was put on aircraft 151 in

00:10.740 --> 00:12.851
memory of Master Sergeant Marty Nance

00:12.851 --> 00:14.851
who served at Portland Air National

00:14.851 --> 00:17.018
Guard base for over 30 years before he

00:17.018 --> 00:20.860
passed away in early 2018 . Mhm . In

00:20.860 --> 00:22.804
june the newly applied artwork was

00:22.804 --> 00:24.971
revealed to marty's family and friends

00:25.540 --> 00:27.707
in the beginning when when I found out

00:27.707 --> 00:29.762
that his name was going on the jet ,

00:29.762 --> 00:32.320
That was super special because it just

00:32.330 --> 00:35.110
said a lot for how everybody felt about

00:35.110 --> 00:38.530
him out here . They picked 151 because

00:38.530 --> 00:41.550
it was his jet prior and it couldn't be

00:41.550 --> 00:43.960
a more fitting thing . Marty was known

00:43.960 --> 00:46.230
for his quiet knowledge , good nature

00:46.240 --> 00:48.670
and artistic abilities both on and off

00:48.670 --> 00:51.400
the job . Along the way , marty

00:51.400 --> 00:53.567
developed a fondness for incorporating

00:53.567 --> 00:55.733
sharks into his artwork and projects .

00:55.733 --> 00:59.670
When I found out about the artwork with

00:59.680 --> 01:01.791
the shark's teeth and stuff , it just

01:01.791 --> 01:03.902
was all very fitting because that was

01:03.902 --> 01:06.150
his thing . For some reason he was he

01:06.150 --> 01:08.990
got fixated on sharks a long time ago .

01:09.000 --> 01:11.111
Anything you see with shark , most of

01:11.111 --> 01:13.333
his friends and all his family , always

01:13.333 --> 01:15.556
thinking marty . So this is a great way

01:15.556 --> 01:15.500
to carry on the tradition of marty .

01:15.510 --> 01:18.440
His jet , You know , with his signature

01:18.950 --> 01:20.672
in 2004 of the Widmer Brothers

01:20.672 --> 01:23.010
sponsored the slot derby on Mount Hood

01:23.120 --> 01:26.050
and marty's brainchild was he got the

01:26.050 --> 01:28.161
team together to build a sled shark .

01:28.170 --> 01:30.920
So we did and that kind of fit with the

01:30.920 --> 01:33.710
whole thing marty and sharks went

01:33.710 --> 01:35.932
together like peanut butter and jelly .

01:37.040 --> 01:39.096
Yeah , those who are lucky enough to

01:39.096 --> 01:40.873
know marty remember him for the

01:40.873 --> 01:43.096
positive impact he made in the lives of

01:43.096 --> 01:45.207
the people around him , he's missed .

01:45.207 --> 01:46.929
That's for sure . Not only his

01:46.929 --> 01:49.040
friendship just is uh compassionate .

01:50.240 --> 01:54.170

01:54.170 --> 01:56.070
