Jets on a stick

The jets-on-a-stick belonged to "Buzz" Kaplan - advertisement for his (now
closed) transportation museum. I prefer the term Highway Art.

EAA Tribute to "Buzz" Kaplan who died in 2002 piloting a restored 1917 Jenny
biplane.

Kaplan is mentioned in the National Air Tour story (link) - "Buzz" built the
Sikorsky that flew on the National Air Tour in 2003. That plane was also the
Sikorsky featured in movie The Aviator.

I suspect he fabricated the 3 jets in his shop. Could be wrong, they might
be real - there was just a story about them (the jets) in the Owatonna, MN
paper according to the lady at the sporting goods store I spoke with. I
couldn't access the newspaper article online.
