Anyone know where I can find an old Cessna 140 (for example) fuselage for cheap that I could mount on a pole out front? Or a big ol' Convair prop? Something I could hoist up onto a 3-story sign, to catch the eye of travelers? If you are going 3 stories up, you'll need something of size. There is a restaurant on Century Blvd across the street from the approach end of Runway 25L at LAX that has fiberglass replicas of WW2 fighters. They manufacture them for sale.too. I seem to remember the name of the restaurant is the 'Rainbird'. They literally took a real plane and covered it with plaster to form a mold. D. |

'The Wild Goose' is *not* the place. :-) The restaurant is called "The Proud Bird."

Here's a somewhat 'famous' fuselage for sale. Price reduced, also. It was
$8k last time they listed it... http://tinyurl.com/54qbf |

Yep, that's right.. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0181852/goofs I also remember that the effects with that fuselage were kind of cheesy.. I didn't know it was a hand made prop till seeing that auction. Watching the movie I couldn't help but think the prop was digitally superimposed, or something. |

We have a restaurant here in Colorado Springs that has a KC-97 as part of the restaurant. The left wing actually goes into the building and they have a staircase that goes into the fuselage. There are several tables up there so you can dine in the plane itself. Here is the link. http://www.solosrestaurant.com/ Scott D To email remove spamcatcher |

Hey, I've got an idea! Get one of those old jetliner fuselages, and put it
out front, and do some work on the inside, turning it into a suite! Then, you could rent out your sign! -- Jim in NC |

"Aviv Hod" wrote in message ... As others have suggested, I think that a more abstract artistic piece will enhance the hotel more than a Cessna on a stick. That will likely look dilapidated in short order. The Supermall near Auburn, WA had an Ercoupe sans landing gear mounted on a pylon. That was the coolest Ercoupe ever! Rich S. Ercoupe? I'm sure Jay can do better than that! How about this? http://www.thebomber.com/restaurant.asp - J.O.- |
