Depicted is an F-18C from NAS Oceana practicing carrier landings at the base’s auxiliary landing field. The
pilot flying the aircraft is the son of friends of mine. I took the reference photo during one of the great

So Long, Sabre
15 x 30 Oil on Canvas
Sold

This painting was accomplished from a photo taken by my father after his last F-86 training flight in 1958 at Williams AFB, just outside of Phoenix, Arizona. The last flight was the return leg of a four-ship overnight “out and back” to Hill AFB in Utah. Being such a relatively short fight, the flight commander told dad, number four, drop into the “slot” position and they flew “diamond around Phoenix for a good long while.”
The flight also held other special significance as they knew before their F-86 training began that the orders
for the entire class had been changed from F-100 follow-on training to B-47s.

Dual Only
12 x 24 Oil on Masonite
Sold
Thousands of former and current Air Force pilots have flown the T-38 as part of their UPT (Undergraduate Pilot Training) curriculum. Once proficient in the contact phase of the syllabus in the “Talon”, two-ship formation is introduced. The flight depicted here is early in the formation phase of training. Each student still has their instructor in the back seat as the flying status is “dual only.” A few non-syllabus training
experiences will be available on this mission with the addition of a solid overcast of clouds in the region.
How incredible it is to break out of the top of the clouds with another Talon. You get a true sense of how
fast you are going as the clouds skirt by and fall away at 300 knots.
