Because of him I have flown in some pretty impressive planes over the years. The guy is a talented person and already had 2 of his restored AC on display at the Smithsonian. This is pretty standard of Rick Barter's work. So all of these people are looking at my work but its no where near as detailed or elaborate as many of my other AC murals. The Vega just has a black panther on the side. What strikes me funny about this is that I did one other AC for John, via the guy who does his restorations for him (Rick Barter), and it was an impressive nude on the side of his B-17 that flies out of Gilbert AZ. The owner, John Magoffin is loaning it to a museum here in Arizona for a time and after it's used for promotional shoots and some other stuff, it will be put on display at the Smithsonian Institute early next year. I was told that it is in almost every aviation magazine world wide this month. It turns out that the one I painted is getting international attention and is at this time the most publicized AC in the world. It is the only one flying at this time and is one of 3 in Existence. This aircraft is a 1933 Vega, made by Lockheed. I got a call yesterday morning about an aircraft that I did the nose art on several months ago.
