Braniff International BAe-146-200 | Flying Colors livery (what-if?) | 1980

Whenever I do one of my "what-if" works I try to frame it in the context of a plausible historical basis. I'll often get people ask me "Hey, how about doing Russian F-22 Raptors" or other concepts that for me, might look striking but are too highly implausible for me to consider.

Several weeks ago I posted my artwork of a Boeing 727-200 in United's current livery, a 727-200 in Northwest's final colors and one in Delta's new "Angry Widget" livery. This was my intro to that previous posting:

A sneak peek....

I have a love for military adaptations of commercial jets and yes, I know that the KC-135 family isn't an adaptation of a commercial jet as it has its own design lineage, but it's close enough for me and growing up near an ANG tanker base, the take offs of KC-135As and KC-135Es was the closest I was going to living the glory that was the Boeing 707 and 720.

This sneak preview is of a print that's...

DFW | January 2010 | Founders' Plaza | Storm Front

Tags dfw, founders' plaza

This was back on 28 January. Bizzaro day that was pretty much the only spring-like day for most of the winter. There were some rain showers from earlier in the day but a squall line from a frontal boundary was fast approaching and I thought it'd make an ominous backdrop for a panoramic shot of the UPS ramp.

Believe it or not this was about 3pm in the afternoon when the UPS flights all...

F-20A Tigershark | 147th Fighter Wing | "Ace in the Hole" | Texas Air National Guard | Ellington Field, Houston

One of my favorite jet fighters is the Northrop F-20 Tigershark. Originally conceived as the ultimate development of the F-5 (which started in the late 1950s as the F-5A Freedom Fighter, transformed in the early 1970s into the improved F-5E Tiger II and also shares...

Pacific Southwest Airlines (PSA) | DC-10 Series 10 | Hypothetical shocking pink colors

I had earlier posted my illustration of the DC-10 Series 10 in the red stripe colors of PSA and included an extensive history of PSA up to the point of the order of the L-1011 Tristar. Having done that artwork, it was only natural that I progressed to the DC-10 in the 1970s shocking pink color scheme.
