Print, Joe Milich, McDonnell Douglas Skyhawk, Framed Signed, Vintage, SOLD

• Pattern:  Vintage Original Print, McDonnell Douglas Skyhawk, Signed Framed & Matted
• Vintage: 1981
• Details:  Exceptional art work by Joe Milich.  This is a print of a McDonnell Douglas TA-4J Skyhawk aircraft.  It is a numbered and signed print, #435 of 1000 and created in 1981. The art itself was originally done in pen and ink and the detail is amazing.  This print is beautifully matted, it has two mats with a beveled inside edge, this allows about 1/16" of the core color of the mat to be visible and gives a truly professional finish to the piece.  The frame is metal by Nielsen, in a pewter tone  (the glass has damage in one of the corners, price has been adjusted for this).  Professionally framed by Framery in Sarasota and ready to hang.  This is a very heavy piece, will need lots of packaging to get to you safely, please keep that in mind at check-out.  It would make a great gift for military personnel, a flight / airplane enthusiast, a veteran, to display in a man-cave or for a history buff.  We have other Milich airplane prints available.

The Skyhawk was a highly successful attack aircraft used by the US Navy and Marine Corps.  The TA-4J Skyhawk model entered production in June 1969. It became the longest-serving of the Skyhawks as the US Navy’s standard advanced jet trainer, it was replaced in the 1990's by the T-45A Goshawk. The first Skyhawk prototype flew in June 1954.  It was used frequently during the Vietnam war.  During service the Skyhawk acquired several nicknames including:  Heinemann's Hot Rod, Mighty Mite, Scooter, Tinker Toy and Bantam Bomber.
