___________
A U-2 pilot in the PSD transport van pre-breathes oxygen and awaits
the walk to his jet for the imminent sortie.
Around him a flurry of professional support
at every level of flight preparation tightens
into a finely straightened line of settled purpose.
Now alone, he reviews the final forms for his
solitary ten hour mission flight at the edge of the stratosphere.
___________
While gathered to recognize the 60th Anniversary of the U-2 Dragon Lady’s active service,
more than 160 U-2 pilots signed the border of the print
Alone with The Forms II for lithographic reproduction. The U-2 pilots` signatures include call signs and U-2 solo numbers which span #10 from 1955 to #978, the most recent U-2 pilot to solo as of mid September, 2015.
The U-2 pilot signature print also offers the option to frame the print with a mat border covering the signatures, if desired. Final dimensions for either method of display will fit
a standard frame size 20 x 24 inches for ease of framing.
Each print is signed and edition numbered by the artist Kristin Hill.
The blank space in the title area allows additional signatures and special messages to be added to each print. Signatures of U-2 pilots who did not sign the original print border can also be added among the other signatures for further personalization of a print.
