Patron Extra Content - Thunderbirds
Added 2021-02-18 21:09:10 +0000 UTCHey!
I get called "Dustin" a lot - and I want to introduce you to an actual Dustin. My friend Dustin Timbrook is a wonderful artist - you've seen his hands at work in the title drawing for the sub series. I commissioned him to make some special Patron-only artwork as a way to show my appreciation for your support!! Dustin has a couple phone backgrounds based on some SED videos and I wanted to share them with you in case they make you smile. Feel free to use them on your own background. I've got the painting of Flack from the Thunderbirds on my phone as the lock screen at the moment. Also, I've attached some still shots from the day I visited the Thunderbirds down in Mississippi. So grateful for your support!
Regards,
Destin

This one is most pleased to see additional content. She will review it more later. Know that your signed baseball holds a place of pride on my shelf of most treasured belongings. Right next to my replica of Ash's hat and my full-sized four-star Dragonball.

2021-03-01 14:15:00 +0000 UTCFantastic, thanks. Love the turtles and the detail photos of stuff people do not usually pay attention to on an aircraft.

2021-02-19 23:21:13 +0000 UTCThat's one hell of a heroic chin. The only thing missing is a curl in the middle of his forehead. (I wouldn't even like to ask if he wears his underpants on the outside) Heroes all. Yourself included, just for going up and taking us along.
2021-02-19 22:25:58 +0000 UTCFeel free to print them for personal use!

2021-02-19 19:56:59 +0000 UTCI'd love to be able to print some of these for personal use in my home. Respecting that it's your commissioned work and respecting the artist as well (I don't know what your agreement is) I'd gladly pay to be able to print 2 or 3 pics!
2021-02-19 18:55:52 +0000 UTCThanks for the pics, Destin! I saw the Thunderbirds a lot growing up as an Air Force brat in the '60s and '70s, I saw them practicing in our "back yard" at FE Warren AFB. One of the pilots flew his F-16 under the telephone lines. I can't wait to see the video.

2021-02-19 00:21:35 +0000 UTCDestin, loved your comments about keeping a humble attitude regarding this experience. I could totally relate to you in thinking pulling 9G+ wouldn't be a problem, but after watching this I'm not sure I would've been able to hang as long as you. Great video. Really enjoyed it.

2021-02-18 22:49:55 +0000 UTCThe opposite should be asked. I Googled it: USA Thunderbirds founded in 1953 - first episode of Thunderbirds in 1965
2021-02-18 22:45:59 +0000 UTCAmazing, thaks for this, love the artwork.

2021-02-18 22:15:38 +0000 UTCDestin, can you tell me why there is a flight group in the US military named after a British tv show?

James Heuberger
2021-02-18 21:46:25 +0000 UTCWhen I first read 'Thunderbirds' in this post, my mind was registering it as 'ThunderCats'(animated TV show). Luckily this post does not disappoint regardless of the change in expectation. Thanks!
2021-02-18 21:41:21 +0000 UTCThat airplane is just something else....keep up the good work D!
2021-02-18 21:39:28 +0000 UTCThanks, Destin.
