This is the original pencil drawing done by the artist..
A US Marines F-35B landing in VTOL (Vertical Takeoff and Landing) mode on the deck of a US Navy LHA (Landing Assault Hlicopter) ship . Landing helicopter assault (LHA) is the United States Navy's hull classification symbol for the general-purpose helicopter-carrying amphibious assault ships of the Tarawa and America classes.
The F-35Bs will replace the aging fleet of McDonnell Douglas AV-8 II Harriers the Marines have been flying since around 1985. Their reputation for being accident-prone is well known.
If you ever seen one of these babies at an air show, you know the power (and noise) the 43,000 pounds of thrust (lbf) Pratt & Whitney F135 engine can generate! It will blow your socks off!
Comes with an embossed Certificate of Authenticity.
