Aces High
A sendup, if not a parody, of the cover art for Iron Maiden's "Aces High" song - with Super Collie flying an A4K Skyhawk(1) instead of a Spitfire...
The song:
[i]There goes the siren that warns of the air raid
Then comes the sound of the guns sending flak
Out for the scramble we've got to get airborne
Got to get up for the coming attack
Jump in the cockpit and start up the engines
Remove all the wheelblocks there's no time to waste
Gathering speed as we head down the runway
Gotta get airborne before it's too late
Running, scrambling, flying
Rolling, turning, diving, going in again
Run, live to fly, fly to live, do or die
Run, live to fly, fly to live - aces high![/i]
Sketched, inked and coloured entirety in Krita.
(1) The A4K (Kahu) was the RNZAF variant of the A4 Skyhawk - bought in the 70s, avionics upgraded to near F-16 standard in the 90s, and removed from service in the mid 2000s.
