Sam Lyons is one of the premiere civilian aviation artist. Whether you are a pilot or not, you
can appreciate the simple private plane. These are not warbirds but they all have a place
in our aviation history. A lot of the planes depicted by Sam Lyons aviation art are planes
that many of us took our first flight in or watched at the local airport. Sam is a pilot and his
studio, where these paintings were created is located on a little grass strip in Georgia.
Enjoy Sam Lyons art work and call us if you are looking for a particular plane, Sam has

You can attach any
number of career labels to
Sam Lyons - aviation artist,
teacher, sailboat captain,
scuba diver, hobby shop
owner. While Sam tackles
everything with passion
and dedication, his
greatest love is creating
aviation art. And he's been
doing that full-time since
1985. A true Southern
gentleman, Sam was born
and raised in Atlanta ,
Georgia .
Sam Lyons credits his
father - a B-24 pilot during
WW II - with sparking his
early interest in aviation.
He credits his mother for
putting aside her concerns
when he went for his
private pilot-glider license
while in college. Luckily he
graduated from
Presbyterian College with
a degree in biology, and
then went on to serve two
years as an officer in the U.
S. Army. His main duty was
escorting hazardous
materials with the
Chemical Corps (another
reason for his mother to
worry). After his Army stint,
Sam began teaching at his
alma mater, Woodward
Academy ( Georgia Military
Academy ).
His longtime interest and
expertise in modeling led
Sam into another career as
an owner of a hobby shop
called Historical Hobbies.
Sam Lyons continued to
develop his modeling
work, eventually being in
demand for custom
assignments. He won
many national modeling
awards. Never one to stay
on the easiest path, Sam
looked for another
challenge and found it
through his fascination for
painting. He experimented,
searching for a unique
style he could call his own.
The immensely popular
result is an extremely
realistic look. So realistic,
in fact, Sam's paintings are
often mistaken for
photographs.
Imagination is not the only
fuel for Sam's artistic
creations. He is one of the
rare civilians who has
flown in the F-15 Eagle
while dog-fighting with Air
Force pilots, the F-16
Falcon, and with the Navy
in the Blue Angels F-18
Hornet. He is inspired
every day when he looks
out his studio windows.
Sam recently moved his
home and base of
operations to a grass
airstrip, Air Acres, located
in Woodstock, Georgia.
Sam Lyons' greatest
source of pride is the
reaction he gets from pilots
and aviation enthusiasts of
every age and experience.
At air shows around the
country, there's nothing
like having a young kid
wander into his booth with
an awed expression. He's
gratified by how many
times adults look around in
wide-eyed wonder also.
But Sam has also won
many awards and gained
recognition in military and
civilian arenas.
Through his membership
in the Air Force Art
Program, Sam's painting,
LEAD SOLO, graces the Air
Force Art Hall in the
Pentagon. Other prints and
paintings can be found at
places like Blue Angels
headquarters, The
Smithsonian Air & Space
Museum, Air Force
Museum, Naval Aviation
Museum, Royal Air Force
Museum, and Disney. His
paintings have graced the
covers of numerous
magazines and catalogs.
He's been commissioned
to create works of art for
Barron Hilton of the Hilton
Corp., Brig. Gen. C. W.
Taylor, Dobbins AFB, Blue
Angels, U.S. Army, U.S.
Parks Dept., AT&T, Bell
South, Lockheed Martin
Aeronautical Systems and
the Danbury Mint … just to
name a few. He's a member
of the American Society of
Aviation Artists; the Air
Force Art Program; the
EAA; Vintage Aircraft
Association; Warbirds of
America; the 8th Air Force
Historical Society; and the
Coast Guard Art Program.
While the world of aviation
figures most prominently
in Sam's paintings, his
body of work also includes
classic automobiles, boats,
portraits, florals and
landscapes. He also added
sculpting to the list with
creations of aviation
historical figures.
Since 1995, when he
completed his single
engine land add on to his
private pilot ticket, Sam
flies as often as he can. His
passion for flying is
renewed every time he
goes up in his vintage
Stinson 108-3.
Happily, Sam has another
passion is his life. As of
November 16, 2002, he is
married to Mindy, who
shares his love of
everything to do with
airplanes.
