Strategic Air Command Aluminum Plaques. This set includes a thick cast aluminum plaque bearing the insignia of the United States Air Force Strategic Air Command (SAC) and two thin etched aluminum placards related to the Airborne Command Post “Looking Glass” and SAC Headquarters imagery. Design: Raised-relief emblem of the Strategic Air Command featuring the gauntleted arm clutching lightning bolts and an olive branch – symbolic of global readiness for both offense and peace. Material: Cast aluminum alloy, polished raised surfaces, with recessed black enamel or oxidized background. Dimensions: Approximately 6.5 inches wide by 7 inches high, 0.5 inch thick. Reverse: Raw unfinished casting, consistent with wall-mount plaques produced for base offices, command centers, or crew quarters. Date Range: Circa late 1950s-1970s, the Cold War operational period when SAC operated from Offutt Air Force Base, Nebraska. Airborne Command Post “Looking Glass” – Strategic Air Command. Depicts a Boeing EC-135 aircraft. Likely a desk or wall identification plate for display in command posts or briefing rooms. 7″ × 4.5″, thin brushed aluminum with black etching. SAC Headquarters Building & Missile Display. Shows the main HQ building with missile monument and flagpoles. Same etching method and size as above. Likely part of a presentation set or commemorative desk display produced for senior officers or visiting dignitaries. The Looking Glass EC-135 aircraft was an airborne command post that mirrored SAC headquarters, maintaining 24-hour readiness to direct nuclear forces in the event of ground communication failure. Plaques and etched aluminum art pieces like these were commonly produced by base machine shops or Lockheed, Boeing, or Air Force engravers as commemorative or internal presentation pieces-not mass-produced souvenirs. Authenticity Indicators: Hand-finished casting marks, non-commercial construction, period-correct aluminum thickness, and accurate heraldic design. Surviving examples typically originate from retired SAC personnel estates or base decommissioning lots. Collector Interest: Strong among Cold War, U. Air Force, and aviation memorabilia enthusiasts.

050 6061 Aircraft aluminum. The panel measures 48″ wide and approximately 48″ tall, and extends 11.5 from the wall when hung. Have your favorite artist paint your wife, girlfriend or anyone you desire on a panel worthy of display anywhere. You would have a hard time not thinking it came right off a Boeing B-17 Flying Fortress, since everything is right off the measurements of the real aircraft, right down to the 700+ rivets and spacing. Yellow bombs are just stickers to give you a feel for how they would look after your artist paints them on. There are some minor flaws in the aluminum, a few dents, scratches, but they are all there to look as close to a real B-17 panel as possible, they never even left the factory perfect, it was WWII and they were rushed out of the factory. The panel is finished to represent a well preserved panel as if it flew missions, and was left in storage the last 70+ years. The 4 Bulkheads are hand crafted from. 050 aluminum over a hand made red oak buck with lightening holes and riveted onto the panel to provide the correct shape of the fuselage. There is a radio squawk box that is not period correct, but that can be easily removed.

This 35-pound model is in very good condition with only two small dings to one wing trailing edge. Size: 36 long x 32 wingspan. The Republic F-84 Thunderjet was an American turbojet. Originating as a 1944 United States Army Air Forces. (USAAF) proposal for a “day fighter”, the F-84 first flew in 1946. Although it entered service in 1947, the Thunderjet was plagued by so many structural and engine problems that a 1948 U. Air Force review declared it unable to execute any aspect of its intended mission and considered canceling the program. The aircraft was not considered fully operational until the 1949 F-84D model and the design matured only with the definitive F-84G introduced in 1951. In 1954, the straight-wing Thunderjet was joined by the swept-wing F-84F Thunderstreak. Fighter and RF-84F Thunderflash photo reconnaissance aircraft. The Thunderjet became the USAF’s primary strike aircraft during the Korean War. Flying 86,408 sorties and destroying 60% of all ground targets in the war as well as eight Soviet-built MiG fighters. Over half of the 7,524 F-84s produced served with NATO. Nations, and it was the first aircraft to fly with the U. Had F-84 Thunderjets in service from 1948 through 1957. The F-84 was the first production fighter aircraft to utilize inflight refueling. And the first fighter capable of carrying a nuclear weapon. The Mark 7 nuclear bomb. Modified F-84s were used in several unusual projects, including the FICON and Tom-Tom. Dockings to the B-29 Superfortress. Bomber motherships, and the experimental XF-84H Thunderscreech. The F-84 nomenclature can be somewhat confusing. The straight-wing F-84A to F-84E and F-84G models were called the Thunderjet. And RF-84F Thunderflash were different airplanes with swept wings. The XF-84H Thunderscreech (not its official name) was an experimental turboprop version of the F-84F. The F-84F swept wing version was intended to be a small variation of the normal Thunderjet with only a few different parts, so it kept the basic F-84 number. Production delays on the F-84F resulted in another order of the straight-wing version; this was the F-84G.

IF YOU WOULD LIKE ONE EXACTLY LIKE THIS ONE, I CAN BUILD YOU ONE WITHIN A FEW WEEKS. OF COURSE YOU CAN ALSO MAKE CHANGES TO THE SIZE, MARKINGS, ETC. You are looking at a one of a kind, hand made F-104 Starfighter inspired fuselage name panel. Ready for you to specify a rank, name and call-sign for me to professionally stencil (any font you like) and paint. My suggestion would be a 2’5 tall matte black background on top, with the pilot’s rank, name and call sign painted in a period correct font in a matte white color. On a side note, what would YOUR call sign have been and what would your spouse think your call sign should be? I can also paint the top portion of the U. AIR FORCE lettering which was particularly large on that jet. Maybe just the top 1/4 of the letters. The panel measures 41″ long and 28.5″ tall. It sticks out a proper 6 from the wall, to mimic the curve of a fuselage. The panel is three pieces of hand polished 5052 series Aircraft Aluminum. Flush riveted with hundreds of solid aircraft rivets. Behind the panel you will see three curved and angled fuselage spars, complete with lightening holes. You will also see Longerons of angle aluminum, Some countersunk rivet holes have been drilled out to make the panel look as if it was removed from an aircraft. The panel features a flush mounted, spring loaded pilot’s step. Just push on the little door, and it opens into the fuselage for the pilot to step up and into the aircraft, then springs back closed as soon as the foot pulls out. I would be more than happy to paint some 3/4 stenciled red lines around the door as there would have been back then. The three RESCUE, Ejection Seat and Rescue opening instruction stickers are New Old Stock, from that era and surprisingly have great adhesive. They are taped down for the photos, so you or I can mount them wherever you like. Of course these jets were made famous by the brave fighter pilots like Check Yeager and all of the’The Right Stuff’ era NASA Astronauts who regularly trained and came from this era of fighter jets. I would be more than happy to add some hydraulic lines, air lines, wiring, etc to give the back of the panel additional realism. This is not really a Man Cave item, more of a high-art, museum piece. If there is anything else you would like me to build for you, I would be happy to. I have made the world’s only hand made Ejection Seat Office Chair, Aluminum Skinned Electric Guitar, B-17 panels, rolling carry on suitcases, you name it, I’m either building it or planning on building it.
