This brings back some memories for me........While in the Army, I had recently completed Airborne training at Ft. Benning, Ga. and was stationed at Ft. Bragg, N. C. One Sunday morning one of the fellas in my outfit was proudly showing off the new tattoo that he had acquired the night before in Fayetteville, N. C. while he was a bit inebriated.
Imagine the quick end to his hangover, when I commented to him...."Well the tattoo artist did a great job with the parachute on your tattoo, but he spelled "Airborne" wrong. Everyone in the barracks then gathered around and looked at the parachute with "Airbourn" tattooed underneath. 
Then there was the fella in the first week of jump school at Ft. Benning that was standing tall during our morning inspection when the drill sergeant noticed part of a tattoo visible under his t-shirt sleeve. The drill sergeant pulled the sleeve up to reveal an "Airborne" tattoo. Soon the fella was surrounded by drill sergeants ordering him to do push-ups, sit-ups, deep knee bends etc. until the fella said "I Quit". That was the end of an airborne career which he never achieved, but was "marked" for it.

Denny - the name looks good on your tug. Outlined or raised looking letters cost more than plain-boxed letters, so you did not over pay that much.
