Spirit of America by Dru Blair. B2 Stealth Bomber. Resembling a bird of prey, our most advanced aircraft, the Stealth Bomber or Spirit, displays its profile as it streams vapor from its fuselage and wings. The B-2s recently played an important role by flying 44-hour missions from Whiteman to Afghanistan and then to a recovery base in the Indian Ocean - the longest missions in history. |
The Globemasters by Dru Blair. The C-17 Globemaster III is the newest, and the most flexible cargo aircraft to enter the airlift force. It is capable of rapid strategic delivery of troops and all types of cargo to main operating bases or directly to forward bases in the deployment area. The aircraft is also able to perform tactical airlift and airdrop missions when required. The inherent flexibility and performance characteristics of the C-17 force improve the ability of the total airlift system to fulfill the worldwide air mobility requirements of the United States. The ultimate measure of airlift effectiveness is the ability to rapidly project and sustain an effective combat force close to a potential battle area. Threats to U.S. interests have changed in recent years, and the size and weight of U.S.-mechanized firepower and equipment have grown in response to improved capabilities of potential adversaries. This trend has significantly increased air mobility requirements, particularly in the area of large or heavy outsize cargo. As a result, newer and more flexible airlift aircraft are needed to meet potential armed contingencies, peacekeeping or humanitarian missions worldwide. The C-17 was designed and built with this new world order in mind. |
Redemption by Dru Blair. AH-64D Apache Longbow. Redemption: [noun] liberation, deliverance, free; set free, set clear, set at liberty; render free, emancipate, release; discharge, let go, let loose, let slip, deliver. Make no mistake about it. The AH-64D Apache Longbow is the most lethal, deployable, survivable, and maintainable multimission helicopter in the world. Operating at close quarters in a river canyon, the Longbow Apache demonstrates its improved performance and handling characteristics over its predecessor, the AH-64A. With its advanced FCR system, which can track and store up to 256 different targets, the Apache Longbow is 28 times more capable than the battle-proven AH-64A Apache, for years considered to be the world's best combat helicopter. There are two elements that are hidden in this painting: an animal (no, not the eagle), and the profile of an Apache Indian's face. |
