About the Artist

Bobby "Rock" - Aviation Artist & Enthusiast

From an early age, Bobby was captivated by the world of aviation, spending his childhood watching planes soar near his home. This passion grew into a lifelong fascination with both the beauty and the history of flight. His dedication to preserving aviation's legacy extends beyond admiration; as a proud life member of the Commemorative Air Force (CAF) in Texas, he has supported the restoration of WWII aircraft, getting close to these storied machines and the iconic nose art that adorned them.

Inspired by the bold designs and spirit of vintage nose art, Bobby channels his creativity into unique, historically inspired artworks. Over the years, his love for aviation has led him from the skies above to high-fidelity flight simulations, where he honed his appreciation for realistic combat flight experiences and combat training.  From the pioneering days of classic simulators in the 1980s to today’s ultra-realistic DCS World planes, his commitment to capturing the essence of aerial combat and WWII aviation has never wavered.

Through his exclusive creations at PilotLegends.com, Bobby shares his passion for aviation, inviting others to connect with the legacy of history’s most legendary planes in a fresh, artistic way.
