36 Fighter Wing Reunion June 2011

Using a Google Earth image of present day Bitburg, Germany, I was able to make a realistic view of an Eagle making a vertical climb. The Kyll river valley is upper right. This clear day would have been rare in West Central Germany.
The banner for our reunion in Phoenix, June 2-5. Art work is from my painting below.

Because I couldn't find good art work of the patches, I painted originals using the original Disney designs.



Front of the 36 TFW t-shirt










Back of the t-shirt. The Eagle is from another painting (see below)







The Tiger Polos came out nice. It takes 20,000 stitches to make the patch and lettering.











I have a limited number of squadron decals to sell for .50 each














This original painting, used for the banner art work, will be for sale at the reunion.








I'm also working on a Bulldog version and hope to bring it.


















This painting will also be sold at the reunion. Eagle attacking a MiG in typical German clouds. I think it shows the vertical ability of the F-15.














A mosaic made from several hundred photos of people and planes from the time I was in the Tiger Squadron, from 77-80. I hope to make another version from photos supplied by other Bitburg alumni.













A detail of the above mosaic. The yellow dots that reappear are Tiger One's birthday cake.

























I'll be selling large Uber Alles decals for jacket backs.
