Mural #6

The Flying Constable

Twentynine Palms' most beloved lawman, Jack Cones, will be forever airborne in this 16 by 60 foot tribute. Elected in 1932, he was the law here until his death in 1960. He earned his lofty nickname by patrolling his 2,800 square mile jurisdiction in a Piper J-3 Cub. The mural artist, Tim O'Connor of Twentynine Palms, came to admire the constable after hearing stories of Cones' exploits while taking flying lessons at nearby Cones Field in the early 1970s.

The mural is located at 6308 Adobe Road, (Crossroad Christian Books - the former Gemcrafts building).
