Cold War - USA

Not Soviet, but I thought you'd get a kick out of seeing these anyway.

A roommate of my son has these up on the wall. His father worked for GD back in the 60s, and these were part of the in house art.

Enjoy!

Hi Eryk,

Thanks for sharing these !!! They are very cool!!!

They are obviously more from the mid 70's than 60's, but are nevertheless in a very good shape.

Cheers.

Ahh, given the age of my boy and his roommates you must be right. Shows my inattention to what he said - I'm not *that* old and his dad must be my age as well.

I take it that it's the plane shown that gives it away. I'm stuck in WWII

so anything not a prop plane is of vague vintage in my mind. Thanks for the clarification!

Correct!! The plane is a F16. First flight in the mid 70's... The graphics are of this period as well...

Cheers.
