Falcon AMU
Through
continuous upgrades, the F-16 Fighting Falcon has remained a
valuable front line asset for 30 years. It was first introduced in the
1970s as a lower cost, light weight alternative to the F-15 Eagle, and soon
became the fighter backbone of the US Air Force. Affectionately known as the
"Viper" by its pilots, the F-16 has served with distinction in conflicts around
the world, most notably in the Gulf War and Operation Iraqi Freedom. The F-16
features fly-by-wire controls as well as the ability to sustain 9Gs in maneuvers.
In this live action portrait, Mark Karvon
depicts an F-16 of the 57th FWW out of Nellis AFB. Prints of Mark's
original work are available in 2 sizes. Both carry his signature.

This 8th Fighter Wing General Electric F110 powered General Dynamics F-16C is
shown in the pop-up for delivery of two 2,000 lb. MK84 conventional bombs.
The artist, Keith Ferris, has flown a number of training missions with this
Kunsan, Korea-based unit and is impressed with its nap-of-the-earth tactics and
accuracy of delivery of its ordnance. This painting was commissioned by
General Electric who in turn donated it to the United States Air Force Art
Collection. The original temporarily hangs in the Kunsan Air Force Base
Headquarters. Each of these limited edition prints is individually signed
and numbered by the artist, Keith Ferris.
High Flight
A lone F-16 drifts
upward, leaving in it’s wake, a footprint of swirls to mark its passage
through a magnificent ocean of clouds. Inspired by American pilot John Gillespie
Magee, Jr.’s poem, written to his parents 2 months before he perished in his
Spitfire over Britain in World War II.

Falcon Sunrise
Appearing
in 1990 as the cover of Air Force Magazine, Falcon Sunrise is available
as a fine art print, reproduced on 100 lb. quintessence archival stock.
"My goal here was to accurately capture the ambiguities of the ground as it
rushed by during a low level attack in the Black Forest of Germany. The
most difficult aspect of this painting was researching the instrumentation
readouts to reflect this combat situation. If you look carefully at the
targeting recticle on the right side of the H.U.D., you can see the tank that
this F-16 pilot is targeting." ~Dru Blair, 1990.
