Keith Ferris is one of the best-known U.S. aviation artists. His murals grace the Smithsonian Air & Space Museum and have dressed up the covers of many books and periodicals, including Air Force Magazine. Aviation Week & Space Technology, Flying magazine, and Popular Mechanics. He also has a US Postal System stamp to his credit – airmail, of course. Forty reproductions of his work appear in his book, The Aviation Art of Keith Ferris. In 1980, Ferris was the first civilian to fly in the F-16 outside of the General Dynamics test force. Sunrise Encounter shows an F-16 assigned to the 34th Tactical Fighter Squadron from Hill AFB, Utah, flying over the Nellis Range north of Las Vegas. The original is in the headquarters of Air Combat Command in Langley, Virginia. Greetings From the Wolfpack shows an F-16C from the 8th Fighter Wing, Kunsan Air Base, South Korea, performing a pop-up delivery of two 2,000-pound Mk 84 bombs. The painting was commissioned by General Electric. The original hangs in the headquarters building of the 8th Fighter Wing in Korea.
