Description:
The Artist Wrote These Interesting Words To Describe His Painting: In Alaska There Are No Junk Dealers. When Something Wears Out, It Is Abandoned. This Was The Fate Of This Old (Fokker) Tri-Motor. The Aluminum Was Stripped, Baring The Skeleton Of The Fuselage. Fabric Strips Hanging From The Wings Look Like Decorations For A Child's Birthday Party. This Was Painted At The Old Nome Airport In August, 1963. In The Background Is A C-123 Preparing To Land At Nome's Modern International Airport.
