@kerristephens Thank you Kerri, I enjoyed seeing and hearing about his collection @bruni Thank you Bruni, there is a lot of patient hours put in there @scooter Thank you Scooter, and this is only a smell part of it
@maggiemae Thank you Maggie, he has been doing them for over 30 years. @cscecil Thank you Carolyn, I had to be careful walking around because some are hanging from the ceiling
@honeybees Thank you Rebecca, it is a great collection @brumbe Thank you Paula, I think about 25 years @bkbinthecity Thank you, it is truly one.. @pamfromcalgary Thank you Pam, and he knows them in that he has flown the actual planes.
Oh my, what a collection! My friends husband had such a collection. Not sure what she did with all of them when he passed, so many people were wanting them. Like Jim, he built some from kits and some he made himself.

Oh wow. My husband collects airplanes, too, though he was never in the Air Force. I showed him this picture... "Oh wow" he said. He like it. I think this is what he aspires to!
