Boeing 747 collection
The Boeing 747, Queen of the Skies.
Designed in the 1960s, this machine turned out to become one of the biggest icons in aviation and most influential machines ever built. Replacing the much smaller 707, the 747 carried 4 times the amount of passengers, flew twice the distance and had a significantly lower cost factor. Hence the memorable nickname 'Jumbo'; one that was fitting for her size and performance at that time.
She changed the world in an unprecedented way. Connecting continents and starting a whole new chapter in aviation.
With over fifteen hundred of them built, the 747 has served as a proud flagship for many airlines and represented governments all over the world.
Even today, the 747 is the most recognizable airplane in the skies and makes heads turn wherever it goes.
From my perspective as a pilot, I still love flying the 747. It is a fun and easy airplane, very reliable and last but not least, a beauty to see. Her graceful lines and self-confident look make her stand out from all the other birds at any airport, hands down.
I feel privileged to fly her around the globe over the most fascinating sceneries.
The distinctive JPC-corner
The trademark that has turned into the recognizable and distinguishing feature of my brand is now also incorporated in the hand-made frames of my Limited Edition Prints.
A one-of-a-kind element that stands out on any wall without being intrusive or distracting, making it truly unique.

Personally signed and numbered by Christiaan van Heijst
I take great pride in my work and I want to make sure that each individual fine art print is up to the highest standards. From the fine art print to the hand-made frame and the documents that come with it; it should tell the story I want to convey as an artist.
Every print is signed and numbered by hand, adding my personal touch to a unique piece of art.
