Retropilot is a Brisbane-based design business run by me (James).
The business accidentally began in 2014 after seeking something unique to commemorate the end of my initial military pilot training. Four years and many designs later, Retropilot artwork can be found in homes, messes and Squadron offices right across Australia.
Retropilot is my side hustle, and by day I am a full-time RAAF pilot. I have flown the CT-4B, PC-9A, Hawk-127, F/A-18F Super Hornet and most recently was a Captain on the C-17A Globemaster.
My job has taken me to exotic locations all over the world - I've flown into 10,000' elevation strips in the Himalayas, landed on ice runways in Antarctica, and flown the ILS at East Sale. Many Retropilot designs are based on my own experiences.
I currently work as the Operations Officer for the RAAF's C-17 Squadron - scheduling, crewing and deconflicting the fleet's varied missions around the world.
I create one-of-a-kind memoirs of your favourite aircraft with a nostalgic retro feel. I combine old-school design styles with the precision modern software (Adobe Illustrator) to create artwork that quickly becomes an eye-catching feature piece.
I love all aircraft (even helicopters), and the Retropilot portfolio includes artwork for both military and civilian enthusiasts. I warmly welcome commission requests for brand new prints, and am able to customise the text (for free!) on existing designs.
All Retropilot designs are available as exceptionally high quality Art Prints. If quality is important to you, and if you have an eye for detail, then this is the product for you. The premium product I offer online is the premium product that arrives at your doorstep.
I take quality very seriously, but don't just take my word for it - read my reviews!
