Are those real aircraft? Willing suspension of disbelief - Yes Jay, they're real. There must be 10 tons of concrete underneath those support structures, if the planes are made of metal. No wonder no one has moved them! -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination"

I prefer the term Highway Art. http://members.eaa.org/home/ehotline/020628.html 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. http://www.nationalairtour.org/pilot...aircraft_id=11 "Buzz" Kaplan and the Sikorsky S-38 http://tinyurl.com/6lztp (same TinyURL link as above) Montblack
