It is with great sadness that we share the passing of renowned aviation artist Gary Velasco, a cherished friend of the Capital Wing.

Gary’s extraordinary talent brought aviation history to life through his artwork, capturing the spirit, courage, and beauty of flight in a way few could. Gary was responsible for painting the nose art on our TBM Avenger, Doris Mae. Beyond his remarkable artistic legacy, Gary will be remembered for his kindness, generosity, and enduring friendship with so many throughout the aviation community.

We extend our deepest condolences to Gary’s family, friends, and all who were touched by his life and work. He will be greatly missed, but his legacy will continue to soar through the countless lives he inspired and the timeless art he created.

Blue skies and tailwinds, Gary.
