Wichita aircraft, then and now

 

I'm back today joining Neet (whose blog is Hickydorums) who is our host this month at Art Journal Journey.  By now you probably know her theme is It must have wings.

This represents Wichita aircraft and shows that Wichita is the air capital of the world.  Detail shots are below.

 



This image came as part of my PBS May program guide.  I had been looking for an aircraft image and this practically fell into my lap. I copied it on my color laser printer, then computer generated the words and printed them on my black-only laser printer.  I outlined the words using a blue brush pen that was nearly out of ink.
 
Thanks for dropping by today. Bleubeard and I are thrilled you stopped by and hope to see you at Art Journal Journey.  You might even consider sharing your own interpretation of It must have wings.

I knew Wichita was the aircraft capital of the US, but I didn't realize it was the one of the world. I like the then and now views. This is another nice piece for Neet's challenge. And it's great to see you back online so often too. :) Have a super weekend. hugs-Erika

Those silhouettes are so pleasing to look at and they illustrate the time era concept so well!

I didn't know that about Wichita. it' always good to learn something new.
Love your planes in the sky, what a pretty shade of blue. I thought you had fussy cut them and then done some air brushing. What a lovely effect it is and so similar to that.
Thank you for joining me again with your journal page at Art Journal Journey.
Hugs, Neet xxx
