Displayed in Washington D.C’s iconic National Air & Space Smithsonian, The Evolution Of Jet Aviation by Keith Ferris is a 20′ by 75′ mural displayed in the museum’s Jet Aviation Gallery. Having participated in the United States Air Force Art Program for over fifty years while documenting the Air Force mission with art, Mr. Ferris has flown more than 300 hours in jet fighter aircraft and has flown in most all jet aircraft types in the Air Force inventory. He deployed across the Pacific to South East Asia as a civilian back-seater with the first squadron of F-4E Phantoms in 1968 where he participated in missions of the F-4E, the F-105F and the B-52D. Today, this breathtaking mural still fills the entire Jet Aviation Gallery wall – highlighting 27 significant aircraft types that represent 8+ nations and 20+ manufacturers.
