In spite of the upbeat title “Happiness is Delano” can be one of the hottest, most miserable contests of the California season. Temperatures often reach 105 degrees leaving pilots and judges to bake in the heat. The graphics for the 2008 contest poke fun at the insanity of sitting in the heat trying to judge a contest while vultures circle overhead. The program featured comic quips by past champion Pete Anderson.
The first poster I designed for an aerobatic contest featured a beautifully restored Pitts Model 12.
My interest in aerobatics has resulted in a series of illustrations of 12 of my favorite airplanes. I’ve turned them into posters so you can share my obsession. Each poster is 13″ x 19″ printed digitally on Strathmore 110 lb eggshell stock (heavy enough to tack to your hangar wall but even better framed).
I’m selling them for $20.00 each (plus shipping). Half of the proceeds from sales go to support IAC chapters 26 and 49. If you would like to order posters, please send me an email at margo@chasedesigngroup.com
