FARMER'S NIGHTMARE, LIMITED EDITION PRINT - KF00008
NOTES: For the first six years of my life, I lived within 100 feet of Kelly Field in southwest Texas, home to the 43rd School Squadron, Advanced Flying School Pursuit Section. The young pilots in their P-12s were a farmers nightmare, practicing their landings time and again in the middle of local farmers fields. My father, an instructor at the school, can be seen in Farmers Nightmare sitting at the controls of aircraft number 2. He waits as two of his students begin their takeoff rolls, while up above another instructor with his students prepares to cut engines..
Farmer's Nightmare Limited Edition Print by Keith Ferris is signed by the artist and comes with a certificate of authenticity.

"An artist's career can rest on the simplest of things. For Keith Ferris, it was an allergic condition which kept him from becoming a pilot for the Air Force. But he didn t let that stop him from making his love of aviation his life. Instead, he channeled his energy and enthusiasm into becoming an aviation lecturer, historian, model-builder, inventor and artist known for his scrupulous accuracy of aircraft and events. It also didn t keep him from flying all over the world in almost every type of jet aircraft possble. His knowledge of the industry and passion for sharing the thrill of flight was all in the family. He was the son of an Air Force officer and grew up on military bases in the U.S. and England. He majored in aeronautical engineering at Texas A&M University and enrolled in the Air Force ROTC. Since then he has painted for almost every major defense contractor in America and completed a variety of commissions for the U.S. Government, both practical and creative. He holds the patents for five air combat camouflage paint schemes and painted two twenty-five by seventy-five-foot murals for the Smithsonian Institution s National Air and Space Museum in Washington, D.C. He has been elected a life member of the Society of Illustrators and the Order of Daedalians, the national fraternity of military pilots. He is Honorary Air Force Art Chairman, past executive vice president of the Society of Illustrators and founder as well as past president of the American Society of Aviation Artists."
