Description
Just a little memorial dedication to the 6 souls who lost their lives during the tragic accident at the Wings Over Dallas Airshow. Five were on board the B-17, and one was piloting the P-36, and he died as well. May they all rest in peace and honor.
The B-17 has always been one of my favorite aircraft.

I'm still dealing with about a million things (well, maybe just a half-million) going on here. Slowly getting caught up.. Hope to start commenting full time on all your wonderful art in a few days. And yes, I'll be working on the next page and additional adventures of the TNA Ladies. There will be some surprises and interesting plot twists coming your way... You have been warned... (wink)
Thanks for stopping by, and any comments you wish to leave. I appreciate them all.

Magnificent dedication piece for those lost souls and another big loss for the shrinking B-17 force. So very sad this happened! Many fine praises from me!
Awesome dedication to those who tragically lost their lives on a day of remembrance for those who served. Beautifully done!
Marvellous memorial dedication to those who lost their lives in the tragic event at Dallas.
A very nice dedication.
Excellent memorial tribute to those lost souls who were doing what they loved. Excellent.
Nice thought, and nice depiction, but what about the other man in the other plane? He died too.
Yes, he was one of the six and the same sentiment applies to him as well. I'll clarify that.. Thanks.
:o) !!!
Wonderful composition, I love the ethereal feeling of it, gorgeous atmosphere and lighting, brilliant awesome render.
Magnificent Masterpiece of finest Arts. I love it!
Great dedication for those pilots that lost their lives in such a tragic accident.
a touching and most beautifully done spiritual image my friend. saw it for a brief moment on the news. love the over the clouds image with the angel.
Beautiful tribute.
Seeing the video of that crash was heart-rendering. Your render is a fitting tribute.
Simply gorgeous my friend and fantastic tribute 👍🙋♂️
Very well done Rod! I was shocked, when the news reached me! My Empathy goes to the Families of the deceased ones. What a tragedy! (And, yes as an aviation enthusiast, I think it is a bummer too for the two legendary vintage airplanes. I think there are not much of them in flying condition anymore, are there?)
That is a sad loss as well. I think there are a very few B-17s in flying condition, but I don't know about the P-36s. Sad all the way around. My own opinion, but I understand the forward / down visibility of a P-36 is pretty miserable. The way the 36 was positioned, I don't think the pilot even saw the B-17, even as big as it was.
Superb my friend
Great tribute. May we take nothing for granted.
Beautiful dedi, Rod, for those who lost their lives in that most unfortunate accident...guess since there were no black boxes, they will never find out the cause...
I hadn't heard about the disaster, and I'm very sorry to hear that 6 people tragically lost their lives. Your image shows an angel guarding the passed, as if she's taken over and is guiding them up to heaven. The plane looks noble; and those clouds are luscious. (I assume that's a sight that all you aviation experts know well---ie, how clouds can seem like a floor of the most exquisite billows and light.) A touching piece, Rod. And all the best on your pursuits. I'm amazed you're posting at all: No one can say you've lost your dedication...
It was a tragic air accident, and happened so quick. Beautiful dedication.
A touching dedication.
You did a beautiful job on this dedication image, just love it and I wish you a nice Sunday evening!
Such a great dedication to those who died doing what they ultimately loved.
I saw the B17 before when I attended one of the shows. it was so far away, I could not get a good capture even with a telephoto lens. very impressive work Rod and dedication
Touching Stuff Rod. Thanks for sharing
Excellent tribute !!!
