Stinger16 Posted February 17, 2021 Share Posted February 17, 2021 (edited) I’m sure if you follow this thread, you will know the name of aviation artist Harley Copic. Harley was a great aviation artist and a great friend of mine. Harley passed away Monday, February 15th. He will be greatly missed by many Jeff Edited February 17, 2021 by Stinger16 Troy Molitor, Michael931080, Out2gtcha and 2 others 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B-17 Posted February 17, 2021 Share Posted February 17, 2021 I was at the USAF Museum a few years ago. One of his paintings was on display called, 'Red River Thunder'. Here are a couple pictures I took. The painting in the flesh was sublime. Sad news. Sorry for your loss.

Oldbaldguy Posted February 17, 2021 Share Posted February 17, 2021 Now I really am sad. Having contributed to and been associated with the Air Force art collection for years, Harley quickly became one of my favorites along with Ferris, RG Smith and a couple of others. He’s one of a handful of aviation artists who make sublime look easy. My first reaction to anything he did (after remembering to breathe) was, “Now, how the hell did he do that?” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firefly7 Posted February 18, 2021 Share Posted February 18, 2021 (edited) Verry sad news, i have the good fortune to own a couple of his wonderful signed prints. Including " Final Mission " showing Robert.S.Johnson's P-47, Penrod & Sam. I never tire of admiring it, and the artist who created it. May he rest in peace.

Landrotten Highlander Posted February 19, 2021 Share Posted February 19, 2021 condolences to his friends and family. He will no longer be able to entertaine us with new work, but I am sure his existing work will give joy to many in the years to come. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
