No, looks cool though.

I love the falling brass and the oversize cockpit to accomodate for the pilot's gigantic head. So true and so necessary.

195 was my first jet as a LT when I was in the 510 TFS at Bentwaters! From 1984-87 it had my name on the canopy rail.

Maybe that supposed to be my cranium...

I've emailed the artist to see how much copies of this print cost...

Cheers! M2

There was a guy in the squadron at that time named Willy Pete...don't remember him as an artist though.

Willy Peeters produced a slim book of 'up close and personal' photo's of the A-10 for the 'Lock On' series of books for Verlinden Publications.
The book features 195 throughout, but was put together in 89 after Coach had moved on and the jet features another pilot on its cockpit rail.
Not sure if the book is still available.

Thanks, M2. No collection would be complete without this caricature.
