Does anyone have the current (November 2008) issue of the magazine Air International (http://www.airinternational.com/)? I'm wondering if someone can tell me who the artist is that did the poster for this issue, and possible even post some pics/scans of the poster. Unfortunately none of the book stores near me carry this particular publication, but I've picked up a few issues here and there and always enjoy the profile art that is often included in the mag. Thinking of ordering a copy of this one just for the poster...

Hi PI4

The poster in the November 2008 issue of Air International was 'Airlines of JFK 2008'. It was A1 size folded into the magazine and the artist was, err me. Smile

.

I'm sure you can order back issues by contacting Key Publishing. It was quite a challenge (with over 100 profiles) as the NY Ports Authority couldn't give an accurate list of the airlines (or the aircraft they used) that flew into JFK! We had the same problem with the Heathrow poster and BAA done a earlier in the year. Makes you wonder how they charge the airlines if they can't tell who uses the airport and with what!!

I the end I used flight tracking websites to get the right aircraft types etc. Often the research takes longer than the poster artwork itself. Hope you like my mini 747 poster in the latest issue of Aircraft Illustrated.

Kind regards

Hi Rolando!

Thanks for the reply.

I tracked down two copies of the November issue of Air International, and love the poster! I presumed it was your work when in that issue I started this thread. I've actually got a collection of around 20 or so of your prints, but it's been a couple years since we've done business. I think it might be time to order some more soon if you aren't too busy!

I pick up a copy of any aviation mag I come across with your airliner profiles... I'll have to look for the Aircraft Illustrated issue you mentioned.

Cheers,
Michael Watson

P.S. Which issue was the Heathrow poster in? I'd love to order a few copies of that one as well.
