OK
This is my first try at posting pictures
First I have started my son off right and he is a major warbird nut.
These are of his ceiling. He is 10 year sold

He has hundreds of the little models all over the floor of his room

This is my bar
The wing is cut down T-6 painted like my old SNJ
The position lights, passing light and the landing light all work.
It has two bombs and a 30 cal machine gun.
The seats are from F-15's and F-106's

Image

The aileron is from Bob Hoovers fire and is signed by him

Image

The line up of cups are from bringing a warbird to Oshkosh. I think I have 21 of them

Nine and a half foot battleship

One of my favorites piece of the Bud Anderson's hardstand while standing on it. I have a couple more of these on the runway etc. They thought I was nuts at the time

My entire house is like this my wife loves these things as much as I do. Virtually no pictures of relatives just WW 2 aircraft. This is my rec room. The rest of it is covered in prints. One of my buddies who used to fly F-4's and F-16's calls these rooms the "I Love Me Room". I have been accused of an I Love Me House

mgeorge51, we talked back in 98' when you where selling your SNJ, but I just bought another house and jumped over the broom. should have bought your SNJ or two instead (S.E. Michigans realestate has had a MAJOR down turn)... when you said the size of your garage(and toys) I knew you where just as nutz as I am, but this really takes it. If we stay in Michigan the garage will go to 3800sqft(If I remember right I would still be behind) but I don't think I can catch up to the rest. I was never brought up with envy, all my family and close friends were alway happy for each other nomatter the size or amount of "stuff" each other has. But if I did, i'd have to say... serious oscarmayer envy :D

BTW it was a very informative talk we had and changed some of my financial thoughs for the better. And no I don't expect you to remember a phone call from that long ago that only lasted an hour. Thank you for your time back then.

All you guys have some seriously cool and historic rooms very, very nice

Tony

Zane...Why are your weapons blue? I see only a 2 position selector switch.

Mudge,

They are blue because I took the photo outside on a beautiful blue sky day with a crap digi cam that tints everything sort of blue...I have since killed that camera...

And yes they only have a two position selector... Rock on brother! :supz:

Blue stuff :roll:
