The second sketch is also reminder of Pensacola also because I named it "Flight Museum vintage plane with pretend person pilot" . Pensacola has a great Museum there because they train Top Gun pilots there. When my two daughters Jennifer and Leigh were young, I took them to that Museum and we climbed into the planes when possible. I still remember that as one of my best times . Also, when I was young my daddy who was a veteran would take us to the annual air shows at Turner AFB in Albany Georgia and we would see the fly-overs and air show, and planes on the ground that the U S Air Force would have there. I LOVED that, and still go to air shows from time t time. I took some great photos of the air show in Missouri and put them on one of my online albums before. This is not the best sketch I ever drew by any means. I had much trouble getting it to look even ok. I thought it would be easy to draw, but it wasn't. I don't know if the flooding memories made it difficult or what. [My daddy died in 2004 and I still miss him so much.]. I drew and redrew parts of it til it looked over-worked. But whatever, it's here for world to see. Also, I tried to make the so-called pilot's helmet authentic for the times by putting a close fitting leather cap which was as I had seen in photos in history books. It's not a perfect rendition of that either.
