Final Flight Limited Edition Sam Lyons Print

With his vivid application of lifelike colors, painstakingly authentic attention to detail, and his signature brand of indescribable interpretation, world-renowned aviation artist Sam Lyons brings a bittersweet element to Final Flight. The exquisite 16½" x 21" illustration depicts the ultimate sortie of the last F4-E Phantom II in active duty service with the U.S. Air Force (retired in 1991). Warbird buffs will no doubt relish the impeccable representation of the aircraft's minutiae, as will veterans who were fortunate to operate the legendary interceptor/fighter-bomber. Also notable is the brilliance of the sky and the realism of the hilly landscape in the background.

This image is available as both an Artist Proof (limited to 30) and a signed & numbered Limited Edition print (limited to 300). Both versions are printed on acid-free paper, utilize first-rate permanent inks, and include a Certificate of Authenticity. Additionally, Major Howard Hendricks has co-signed the image along with the artist. A touching tribute to a rock-solid USAF veteran that's sure to elicit its fair share of smiles.
