Tom Jester illustrates Amoolia Earhart for EAA AirVenture


Who really is Amoolia Earhart?  And where did she come from?  These questions about the cow-pilot mascot for EAA AirVenture demand answers, but all we know is that shes never looked better. 

For the second year in a row, Tom Jester has brought the mascot to life in his masterful and supremely lifelike illustration style.  Tom's work is featured on posters and t-shirts that are sure to be a hit in Oshkosh, Wisconsin, where EAAs annual aviation celebration is taking place...starting today!
