There used to be the tail section of a C150 sticking out of
the roof of a motel on Highway 99 just south of the Aurora
Bridge in Seattle. Looked just like the plane had crashed
into the roof.


We talked about doing this, but decided that this was NOT the message we
wanted to send to the general public (the vast majority of our guests)
about aviation.

Especially given our proximity to the runway! (If you stand on the Red
Baron Suite's balcony, and have a really good arm, you could just about
hit Rwy 25 with a baseball...)


A pub in Melbourne (Oz) used to (may still have) the nose of a diesel
locomotive against the wall with a paint and odd angle glued bricks job to
make it look like the train had run though the pub.

Back to the subject lo vis 2x4's on a wing can make a whole aircraft on a
pole a lot more managable. There have to be heaps where corrosion has made
the basic plane pretty cheap (at scrap can prices after parting)
