Aircraft N43WT — 1943 Lockheed 18-56 Lodestar Lodestar Photo

Here is a piece of nose art that I did for a guy that loved Star Wars. This piece was taken from the engine nacelle area of N43WT. Very few pieces of the fuselage, inner wings and engine nacelles were scrapped. Most will live on as art work.
