Thank you to Peter Conomos for sending in these great photos of his motorcycle with his new Japanese Ninja & Serenity Kanji Vinyl Stickers from Flightline Fabrications. If you are not green with envy, you should be, this bike really rocks!
On a recent visit to Seattle, Flightline Fabrications had the one of a kind chance to visit the Museum of Flight’s rare B-29 Superfortress under restoration in Boeing’s Plant #2. This visit included a complete behind the scenes guided tour and one of a kind day.
The Museum of Flight’s rare B-29 Superfortress, known as T-Square 54, fought in the Pacific during World War II, flying 37 bombing missions with the 875th Bomb Squadron, 498th Bomb Group. The bomber was later converted to an aerial refueling tanker for the Korean Conflict.
Acquired in 2005, this C-47 Gooney Bird Cowl Flap was originally NOS Military Inventory. During the restoration of this Cowl Flap the dicision was made to paint the door flap in the colors of the C-47 transports that dropped paratroopers in Normandy, France during the D-Day invasion on June 6, 1944. In August 2008 while visiting the Seattle Museum of Flight, Flightline Fabrications owner Bryan Heim had the rare opportunity to have Band of Brothers 506th members Don Malarkey and Buck Compton sign the cowl flap, making it a truly one a kind item!
Every once in a while you see an incredible photograph and want to share it with everyone. Recently Flightline Fabrications came across this photo of a B-25 Mitchell painted with light by Eric Curry. In addtion Eric made a really cool video that walks you through the entire process and how he created the B-25 Mitchell Photo. We hope you enjoy this photo & video!
This short tutorial video shows how a light painting photo of the B-25 Mitchell Bomber was made. It is an interesting and informative background to the photo and people involved, very interesting of the entire shot was staged and then painting with light.
