Plane type: Boeing KC-135
The Boeing KC-135 has proven to be an indispensable tool for the US Air Force, sustaining and increasing the endurance of both pilot and plane, allowing global reach and force multiplication to any mission.
In "AirBridge III", by artist Dru Blair, several KC-135's are depicted lining up for takeoff as the crews prepare to launch a vital support mission. The fog shrouded runway creates an aura of intrigue and mystique, and is consistent with the quiet reputation of this essential, but often overlooked, aircraft as it carries out its critical task.
In "AirBridge III," by artist Dru Blair, rounds out the trilogy which includes "The AirBridge," and "AirBridge II" both of which sold out soon after its release. "AirBridge III" expands on the theme of anticipation, intrigue, and mystique.
The main edition of "AirBridge III" was limited to 950 Signed and Numbered high quality Lithographs. Reproduced on 100 lb. Quintessence Archival Stock, each print is individually inspected, signed and numbered by the artist. The main edition is sold out and available only on the secondary market.
"AirBridge III" is available as a Giclée (pronounced "zhee-clay'), which refers to a 7-color print which utilizes the latest in digital technology to reproduce art with breathtaking accuracy. This is the largest and most expensive version of our print line, usually measuring an overall 42" inches wide, and printed on museum quality Hahnemuhle paper for $495. A near perfect replica of the original painting, Giclée prints are limited to only 50 examples of each image, and are created for the most discriminating collectors.
