You can personalize your 26x30 canvas giclee version of "Battle of New Orleans". After purchasing thru Paypal button, go to the "contact the artist" page on this site and tell us exactly what you want it to say below the canopy rail and insure spelling is correct. Example: Lt Mike "MaGoo" McGee. That's what it'll say on your print where the pilot's name goes - it's seamless and actually looks better than the original as it's a digital change and not re-painted. I can change tail/side numbers as well if desired

Friendly enemies and stable mates from Joint Reserve Base New Orleans are out for an afternoon 1 versus 1 High Aspect training hop some 70 miles east of “The Big Easy”. After almost two minutes of high G stalemate near the Chandeleur Islands,the “River Rattler” Hornet driver sees a chance to pressure the N’awlins Guard F-15 and rips his nose in lead to force the issue and bring the engagement to an end. Commander J.A. “Fish” Baumgarten, Skipper of Navy Reserve Strike Fighter Squadron VFA-204, is “in range, in lead”, and rolling hard right to get “in plane” to open fire for a killing 20mm gunshot. Just coming out of a “ditch” maneuver and approaching the hard deck, the “Flying Tennis Court” has no place to go and tries a desperate hard turn into “Fish” in an attempt to force an overshoot. A timely floor jink may prolong the Eagle pilot’s simulated life for a few moments, but either way this fight will be over in four or five more seconds. “Fish” will be drinking free beer in the Air Guard bar tonight and own base braggin’ rights...at least until tomorrow when they’ll go out and battle again.
