I’ve put up another large photo print, this one of the Thor’s Hammer hoodoo in Bryce Canyon. I’ve got another framed and hanging on my wall… it really does look pretty damned awesome.
This time there’s a Buy It Now button. Item is listed here.
Now up on eBay, witha $17 “buy it now” price, is Ed Farley’s “US Army – Air Force FIGHTER PLANES” from 1961. It’s a great little book… lots of three-views. This was one of the first books I can recall from when I graduated from the “kids section” of the library to the “adults section,” which means I can remember it from a loooooooooong time ago. Now you can own it. eBay listing is here.
The auction for the 12X36 inch print of the Bryce Canyon panorama on eBay is just about over… half an hour left as I type this. And only up to a whopping $16. Come on… you don’t want some *other* yahoo to walk off with *your* favorite photo in the whole world for only sixteen bucks, do ya?

Here is a high-quality blueprint of the proosed but unbuilt Convair QRC-182-2 Special Purpose Airplane. This was a massively modified B-58 “Hustler” bomber, with relocated engines, wingtip fins and a stretched and widened fuselage. The QRC-182 could serve as a fast recon plane, a supersonic passenger transport for the USAF, even a supersonic high-value cargo plane. This blueprint includes top, side and front views, with a great many dimensions called out and internal details visible.
The blueprint is a high-resolution, high-quality print from a restored digital file, measuring 15 inches high by 28 inches wide. It will look great framed and hanging on a wall. Shipped rolled in a tube.

Here is a high-quality blueprint of the proposed but unbuilt Convair “Super Hustler.” This was a “parasite aircraft” intended to be carried to altitude and supersonic speeds underneath a B-58 Hustler; after release, a ramjet powered stage would boost the craft up to around Mach 4. When over the target, the booster stage would fall away, dropping a large nuclear warhead; the manned stage would fly home under its own ramjet power. Convair proposed this to the USAF in the late 1950’s. This blueprint includes top, side and front views of the manned and unmanned stages, showing how it was to fit under the B-58. Also shown is a large amount of dimensional, area and weight data, along with scrap views showing the fins and the nose folding configurations for takeoff and landing.
The blueprint is a high-resolution, high-quality print from a restored digital file, measuring 19 inches high by 36 inches wide. It will look great framed and hanging on a wall. Shipped rolled in a tube.

Here is a high-quality blueprint of the planned, but unbuilt, Northrop-Grumman F-23A stealth fighter, the operational version of the YF-23. This diagram shows top, side, front, back and cross-sectional views, and provides a great deal of data.
The blueprint is a high-resolution, high-quality print from a restored digital file, measuring 16 inches high by 24 inches wide. It will look great framed and hanging on a wall. Shipped rolled in a tube.
I’ve had a few more printed off. The future of this enterprise may be determined in part by the success of the Lockheed LS-200 sale on eBay… if it’s a dismal failure (currently standing at a whopping five bucks), then I’ll have some neat art, end of story. Otherwise, I *may* try to market *some* of these.
Right now, they are all-kinds-of-awesome-wallpaper. If you are interested, though, send me an email.
The large prints are on 24X36 paper.
Here is a high-quality blueprint of the Lockheed LS-200-5 space shuttle concept from 1970, Lockheed Missiles & Space Company drawing SKS 100023. This shows an inboard profile and a rear view of the one-and-a-half stage shuttle concept also known as the “Star Clipper.”
The blueprint is a high-resolution, high-quality print from a restored digital file, measuring 9.5 inches high by 36 inches wide. It will look great framed and hanging on a wall. Shipped rolled in a tube.

USAF SPUR SPACECRAFT CONCEPT MODEL
This is a Space Power Unit Reactor Concept Desk Model. This model was made by the Garrett Corporation in the early 1960’s. This proposal model and booklet was used by Aerojet, Westinghouse, and AiResearch to show NASA their idea of the SPUR electrical power/propulsion supply. The model measures 3” wide and 6 ½” long. The entire model is metal and the stand is lucite. Both the model and booklet are in great condition. Concept models were made in very small numbers, so don’t miss out in this early space race model that unfortunately was never produced.
