Sam Lyon's love of aviation since childhood led him down the road to his present career as a world-renowned aviation artist. His paintings can be found at military bases, museums, aviation gift shops, and in pilots' art collections throughout the United States, Canada, and Europe. Through his membership in the Air Force Art Program, Sam's painting "Lead Solo" graces the Air Force Art Hall in the Pentagon.

"Read Back Correct" is Sams first control tower view. The Air Traffic Control Association commissioned Sam to paint an original that honors the men and women who keep airplanes flying safe. That was the start of "Read Back Correct." The name of the print is a phrase heard by every pilot flying IFR out of any airport in the country. The view – from inside a control tower -- is one you seldom see in a print. Wherever you look there are unexpected details to discover. The Dekalb Peachtree Airport in Atlanta was used for reference by Sam. The folks at PDK were more than gracious in giving Sam access so he could make the painting as accurate as possible. He did take artistic license with the female controller; that's his wife Mindy with the binoculars. The original hangs in ATCA headquarters in Alexandria, Va. This print is produced on acid-free, neutral-pH paper with permanent inks and is accompanied by a certificate of authenticity. The 15" x 22.5" prints are available in a Limited Edition size of 300 Signed & Numbered.
