Fall Takeoff captures a dynamic F-35 Lightning II launching from Burlington International Airport (BTV), home of the Vermont Air National Guard’s Green Mountain Boys. Set against peak autumn foliage, the painting blends movement, atmosphere, and regional character—perfectly echoing the crisp fall mornings, roaring departures, and unmistakable pride of Vermont’s fighter community.
The scene highlights the F-35’s sleek lines and signature power as it rockets off the runway, framed by gold and orange treetops that mark a uniquely Vermont backdrop. It’s a moment every local, spotter, and Air Guard member knows: the Green Mountain Boys lifting into the sky with mountains behind them and autumn bursting below.
Painted with expressive textures and warm seasonal tones, this piece connects deeply with Vermont veterans, F-35 maintainers and pilots, aviation enthusiasts, and anyone who calls the Green Mountain State home. Whether displayed in a home, office, studio, or squadron space, it carries both modern fighter energy and a sense of place that only Vermont can offer.
If you’re looking for original F-35 art, Vermont Air National Guard artwork, or a one-of-a-kind depiction of the Green Mountain Boys in fall, this painting is a standout, collectible addition.
