Aviation Artist John Sanchez Posted by Michael E. Marotta on 3/03, 6:49pm | ||
Flying Magazine columnist Dick Karl wrote about aviation art in this 2006 article available online. The last third is about John Sanchez of Miami. The last line on Page 1 is the reference to Ayn Rand. On Page 2 is this: Kathy Morgan, daughter of the legendary aviation writer Len Morgan, brought me a gift after her father died. It is a framed picture of the space shuttle and its 747 mount painted by Mike Machat. The artist has inscribed a message that says, "For Len Morgan, Who captures the magic of flight through the written word! With high esteem." The picture is also signed by the shuttle commander and by the 747’s pilot. Entitled "Free Enterprise," this framed piece of history now resides in the most prominent space in my office and sets a tone for me. During difficult discussions about medicine, money and education, I’ll look up at the picture and quickly realize that, by comparison, what I am doing is not that difficult at all. | ||
