Also completed this week is my second B-17G caricature. “Nine O Nine”, flew 140 missions during the war and 126 of those without an abort. That’s one lucky lady. Let me know what you think.

The second caricature based on this pilot is the P-51D he was given after the shoot down when they knew the press would be all over the story. This shiny new bird had a special paint job just for the occasion. It is always confussed with the aircraft he was actually flying at the time… an F-6D recon Mustang.

Here is the latest caricature. Actually there are two versions of this caricature. Capt. William Shomo received the Medal of Honor for a mission where he shot down 7 Japanese aircraft 6 Ki-61 Tony’s and a Betty bomber. Here is the Mustang he was flying that day he shot down the aircraft.

In prep for the Big Bear Air Faire, I put together this Commemorative marking scheme for a USMC F/A-18D Hornet. I call it COrsairs to Hornets. Hers to all those Marines out there.

Okay as promised here is the second F-100D. This one is painted as the F-100C flown by Col. George Laven Jr. when he was the commander of the 479th fighter wing and based at George AFB back in 1958.

Here is a caricature of the North American F-100 Super Sabre. This one in the markings of the 416th Tactiacl Fighter Squadron, 37th Tactical Fighter Wing, operating out of Phu Cat AB, Vietnam. Any 100 pilots out hope you like…. let me know your stories. Enjoy….. next up a F-100 very colorful!

Here is my latest caricature. This time a RF-101C Voodoo from the 45th TRS/460th TRW during Vietnam. Any VooDoo drivers out there? Let me know what you think.

I have been working on this caricature idea for a few years now. Trying to get it just right. Finally I think I did it. The F-101 Voodoo, this one a CF-101 from the Canadian Air Defense Team that flew in the 1980 William Tell fighter meet. Hope you like it… and there should be a US version soon as well as an RF-101. Stay tuned…..

One Last Caricature for today. Again a S-3 but this time painted in a retro theme from WWII. I have a patch from VS-41 that is very retro looking and thought it would be fun to add that as the background. I usually just do the clean background look but this one was a special scheme and begged to have a little more of a unique look. Hope you like it.
