Hey tipek


What scale were those -328 Models in because those boxes look huge.

Those are framed posters :)

Does this count?







Behind is an A-10 Warthog, far back is a B-29 bomber, and there's also a B-52 wing sticking out from the right. The Northwest's engines flash, and it makes sounds, too!

Sure, why not? I have a Qantas one hanging from the rear view mirror or my car :)

I collect all sorts of Av goodies.
-airline seats
-photos and books with aviation photos
-old boarding passes
-Old die cast planes (I have a bunch of Ertl Force One Planes from over 13 years ago).
-Anything AA related :D
-tshirts. But I like jerseys with Aviation sponsors. I like mixing my hobbies.

Nice models, I like that Concorde one!

[Winglets747]

I collect a lot of stuff. :D

Here are some of my favorite (and more embarrassing) items:

AA Galley Cart




Concorde Galley Container


Virgin Atlantic Seats


A note about the Virgin seats--When I originally got them from a seller on eBay, there were only two seat covers. I contacted Virgin and they were quite amused with my purchase and subsequently sent me five brand new seat covers for free! I also gave them the part number of the seats, and they were able to see they came off G-VBIG in 2001.

[Jonesbeach]

I have some AA stuff.

Gate 44 sign from Terminal 9 @ JFK


Admiral's Club sign from Terminal 9


One World Alliance Sign


I also have some AA logo signs, but they aren't up... yet.

Edit: I forgot I've got some TWA playing cards. (Do you guys know what the dates signify?)

[nwafan20]

Man, those are some rare items you have there!

[GrummanFan]

All my collections have some sort of personal value. Most of my stuff is old Grumman things, a couple random models, some hand-built stuff, etc.

Here are my models. The S-2 in the center is a pre-production version made by Topping, over 50 years old, and pride of my collection...


Some of my stickers




A bunch of Grumman books, product catalougs, magazines...


A sign taken from somewhere on the Calverton property :)


If you've ever been to the Cradle of Aviation and been in the mock LEM clean room, you may have seen a copy of this on the wall


Back when it was just a baby Tomcat


What I love about all the old books is that there is so much experimental stuff and things that never went into full production. Its really interesting to see how history unfolded, what made it and what didn't. I also have a Grumman magazine in the basement somewhere that shows the last production Tomcat taking off from Calverton. I'll dig that up tomorrow for ya.

And my beloved chairs :)

Those are hot!

[NcSchu]

I have some AA stuff.

Those are really nice, how were you able to get them?

[Midnight Mike]

These are some of the models sitting on my desk at work:





These are some nice models that my company has, I have threatened them, that if I ever leave, the models are coming with me....

[nwafan20]

Mike, where do you work?
