Re: Hidden treats (Easter eggs) in Technical art

I work as a technical illustrator for Boeing
Helicopter. There is a story that I have heard from
back in the day. Supposedly, an artist included a
teeny hidden derogatory four letter message to
management or fine adjustment to a depiction of a crew
member's fingers working around the craft in a full
aircraft cut-away illustration of the AH-64-A Apache
helicopter. No big deal and totally hidden as long as
the illustration remained in paper form on the small
tech-pubs size. Whatever it was~ it was hidden.
Someone forgot adjust the message/illustration when it
was employed into a view graph for one of the BMF
HDFIC POC giving the presentation.
BAM! there was the message in blazing glory on the big
screen as it was presented to the important doo-rod
customers.
That illustrator (graphic artist) is no longer at
McDonnell Douglas/Boeing Helicopter.
Mostly true story...
