Commissioned Artwork

[TeeArr]

As most of you know, I was an Officer in the USAF.  I recently commissioned a nationally (and internationally) known artist to render "My" Bird.  He has done mostly WW II, Korea, and Viet Nam planes for guys like Dick Cole (Doolittle's Co-Pilot in "The Raid"), Bud Anderson, Leo Thorsness, Ken Dahlberg, Joe Foss and George McGovern.  He also interviews each of the pilots who flew the planes he draws.
If you go to his website, you can see the first iterations of my project, and see plus read about the projects he has done in the past.
Although I have commissioned this project, it really isn't about me, but rather all the men and women who did this job, and others like it all throughout the Cold War.
Even if my particular project doesn't interest you, the other stuff he has done will...it is magnificent.
You can see his work (and yes, my project) at

  Now you tell us I had to figure it out on my own. 

   I like the notes on the schetch "What is the color of something nobody See's".

Thank you for sharing that.  All I have to say is "WOW".

what years were you with the minuteman program? My uncle Fred White was also an officer in the USAF and worked with the Minuteman III in the early 70s. Not sure the exact years, I'll ask my dad when he gets home today.

Tupac, I was on Missile Crew roughly 1980 through early 1985.
I then flew with the 4th ACCS (ABNCP, Looking Glass) for a bit as an Airborne Launch Control Officer, and several years in Missile Maintenance at Ellsworth, AFB, until I went in a different direction with my career around 1988.

Airman Whitehead told me, to tell you: "Howdy"

Thank you, Masherbrum.  Throw him a salute and a big hello back from me.
