Unique collection of aviation posters, aircraft T-shirts and airplane gift items draw on the amazing air-to-air, aerial & airline photography of AeronauticPictures.com founder, photographer and filmmaker, Craig Schmitman.
Ventura County, CA (PRWEB) May 4, 2005 -- AeronauticPictures.com announces the launch of an exclusive series of airplane posters, aviation art, aeronautical gifts and aerospace calendars.
Illustrated by the fine art, editorial and advertising photography of Craig Schmitman, founder of AeronauticPictures.com, the new poster and calendar collection includes images of the maiden flight of the NASA Space Shuttle Discovery, U.S. Navy F-14 Tomcat and F/A-18 Hornet aircraft launching from the deck of the aircraft carrier U.S.S. Carl Vinson (CVN 70), air-to-air and cockpit photography of Boeing B-747 airliners, exclusive air-to-air images of a U.S. Air Force F-16 performing the Cobra" maneuver over Edwards Air Force Base, the U.S. Air Force C-17 Globemaster III, and the World War II legend P-38 Lightning fighter of the U.S. Army Air Corps.
Also depicted are the Air Force F-22 Raptor and F-15 Eagle, the giant U.S. Marine Corps CH-53 E helicopter, in-flight cockpit shots of jet fighter pilots, and from NASA sources, an Eagle Nebula poster as imaged by the Hubble Space Telescope.
Schmitmans extraordinary images have never before been available to the public on this scale, with sales largely to trade or industry clientele. He has achieved what is perhaps a singular distinction in the history of powered flight by being the first (and perhaps the only) photographer to have his work appear simultaneously on the covers of Flight International and Aviation Week and Space Technology Magazines. This is the aeronautical equivalent of work on the cover of both mainstream news weekly magazines.

Future offerings will draw on the 30,000 image archive held by AeronauticPictures.com, including the rights managed and royalty free stock photography collections located within the AeronauticPictures.com website: http://www.AeronauticPictures.com/rfphotos/index.htm
The posters, shirts, mugs and other gift items are illustrated by images that can convey timely concepts like teamwork, high technology, national security, patriotism, service, hope, potential, industry, risk, bravery, travel, energy, globalization, speed and power.
Im very pleased to share these images of subjects Im passionate about and have enjoyed photographing for so many years," said Craig Schmitman, owner of Aeronautic Pictures. Words cant express the excitement and sense of adventure Ive experienced at sea on the deck of a Nimitz Class aircraft carrier (USS Carl Vinson – CVN 70) or chasing a jumbo jet across the Cascade Mountain range glowing with the warmth of a sunset." He added, Hopefully these pictures can speak volumes about those beautiful and wonderful moments."
