Need Some Quick Help: Retirement Gift

[Renegade One]

Wife of a good friend who's retiring in December asked me for a vector to that company that does the "personalized flight jacket and other memorabilia" paintings. I think some of you have seen them offered in Navy exchanges...a painting of "your" flight jacket (patches, nametags, whatever) hanging on a chair, logbook, maybe helmet and O2 mask, that sort of thing. Anyone know who does these?

Same company also does a version with dress blue jacket with ribbons, cover, sword, etc....

All the best, Spike

I called the guy at Wings in Pensacola, since they know all there is to know about aviation in the military. He said that he tried to look awhile back for a customer, and couldn't find the name of the artist.

He did say that your best bet would be to look in historical mags and such. I'll keep an eye out for you, since I have to look for a couple things for Pickle's winging and Pickle's mom's retirement, too.

Sorry I wasn't more help.

Hey...you tried...can't ask for more than that. Many thanks. Best of luck in all that's to come...it's an adventure, I'll say that!
