Default LHS Wall Mural

I'm almost done with a mural I've been painting for our new LHS, one of our club members is opening. It's in an old pizza delivery store, and has a wall dropped from the ceiling over his sales counter, where the ventiation fan used to be. When I first saw it, I commented that it would be a great place for a picture of some sort. Eddie (store owner) said to knock myself out; this is two thirds of what I came up with. I have two planes to finish in the last third, will re-post the whole thing when done. Not historically accurate, planes from 1915 through 1918 all sharing same airspace:

What's the deal with Lightfoot editing my post by removing one of the pictures? Something politically incorrect? Not really upset, but what's the problem with that picture that isn't in the other one?

Ken, Nice mural, can you give me directions to Eddies new shop. I want to pay a visit, and have to see your painting first hand.

Maybe he thinks "Folker" is a bad word.

Do you remember the Pizza Hut Delivery place on Old Lenoir Rd, across from the Century Furniture factory? It's in that building, next to Century 21 Real Estate. He didn't have his sign up yet (as of yesterday), but he's open for business sort of unofficially; he's sold a bunch of stuff already. Hours are 10A-6P M-F, except he closes at 5 on Wed., and he's open 10-2 on Sat. I need to get up there and finish the mural; I have two planes and a balloon left to paint, about 3 hours worth; hopefully by end of the week.

Still curious to know why one of the pictures was removed from my post (by Lightfoot). If ya gotta, ya gotta, but I think I deserve to know why.

Really cool. Great job. I think that you should get 15%off all purchases there.

Boy that is nice! I think it would be cool to have you paint a similar mural on a full size airplane. While I think of it one in my Master Bed room would be great. Boy you fly RC and paint cool murals how does one beat that?

I have planes in the bed rooms, garage, computer room, sometimes in the living room and dinning room. I think a little paint on the will might be welcomed. LOL

Agreed. Planes everywhere so why not painted on the wall also.
