I built a DC-8-73 in the same scale 20+ years ago.

757-200! It has NASA decals, but it’ll end up as a 757-200PF in the current UPS paint.

This model has been sitting in my closet for over a decade. Figured it was time to put it together. Any guesses what it is?

The balsa flyer in the background is a Guillow’s Cessna 180 my daughter started in grade school (8 yrs ago?). I finally covered it for her. Flies great.

2 more beauty shots of Soarin’

It’s modeled after the original version used inside The Land.

I even like the cheesy color fade mode on the lights.

I’m really happy with how Soarin’ turned out.

I planned to 3D print a sign from Thingiverse. But it would be small & I didn’t like the existing designs.

So I went big with foam board. Sign is 46”w x 14”h. Letters, swoosh, & glider are 3D printed.

Working on a Disney thing for our basement wall. Styrofoam, 3D printer, LED strip lights, oh my!

Our P&W 747SP Test Bed departed to make room for another Boeing (really a McDonell Douglas), the C-17 Globemaster III

I’m no meteorologist, but I have a hunch this can’t be good.

#AirVenture Exhibit Hangar D. Think state fair exhibit hall but ALL aviation…

Except for the Gutter Guard lady. I can’t imagine she’ll sell a lot of gutters here, but good luck to her!

In the #AirVenture Boeing pavilion:

One of the coolest uses of a large video screen. Life size view of the 777-8F upper deck being loaded.

The buildings outside the cargo door look a lot like UPS Worldport wings.
