Aviation Art Fair at Knokke-Heist

We have discovered that there is no global Aviation Art Fair - and this seems a great shame. As a result, we'll be holding just such an event at the same time as the AirTrophy, at Knokke-Heist in Belgium - already world-renowned by artists and collectors alike.

We expect the event to reach in excess of 100K visitors, of which perhaps 10-15% will visit the Aviation Art Fair.

So, if you'd like to show (and perhaps sell) some of your work:

Paintings
Photographs
Sculptures
Books

Then let us know. Equally, if you know someone who might be interested, then please pass this on. The cost of taking part this first year is extremely low (and no commission) - a real opportunity to have works seen (and bought) in the 'right place'.

Who am I ?
A free electron …

I have always been, and remain a "free electron". (Backup)
It is this freedom of thought that guides me in my website "DOGFIGHT".
The search for truth is priceless…

John Boyd the father of the Energy-Maneuverability Theory, Robin Olds the best wing commander of the Vietnam War, were a glaring example of having said the truth out too loudly, they were sacked …

I may be wrong, my truth may not be the truth … but at least it is a " free" opinion…

The replacement of the F-16 by a " craft " that features the latest advanced technology, puzzles me, while other solutions adapted to the feasible reality are not considered …

•	My personal opinion is that you make your decision "choice" according to the needs.
•	As a military man your decision-making process is based on the threat.
•	As a political decision maker the fundamentals are politic (NATO) and economic (budget).
