My latest commissioned painting - 'Brown Shoe Navy'
OPERATION HAMMER
On October 6th 1986, as part of a NATO exercise; the 81st Tactical Fighter Wing successfully launched one hundred and five A-10 Thunderbolt II's all within forty five minutes. Aircraft from six Tactical Fighter Squadrons took off from the closely located twin bases; RAF Bentwaters and RAF Woodbridge, Suffolk, England. These were: 78th, 91st, 92nd, 509th, 510th and 511th. Not only was this looked upon as being the most USAF fighters ever to be launched at one time, but the wing also set the record for the number of aircraft fully mission capable and ready to fly. This scene is from an area of the RAF Bentwaters base that was home to the 511th Tactical Fighter Squadron 'Vultures'. Featuring aircraft: 80-275 and 80-277

The scene features the USS Saratoga CV-3 and aircraft SNJ-2 BuNo 2549 and SB2U-2 BuNo 1343 (circa June 1941). “Brown Shoe” is a slang term for an aviator. Traditionally, Naval aviators wear brown boots with their flight suits and brown dress shoes with their service khaki uniforms. People will often refer to the “Brown Shoe Navy” or “Black Shoe Navy” when referring to the aviation or surface communities, respectfully.
