What Aviation Stuff Do You Collect?

[Matt Molnar]

Thanks. It was a gift from a patient of mine who worked Concorde. Good luck finding it. In fact, next time I see them, will see if they have extras.

I found three, a pewter one like yours and a different BA model wrapped in leather, and an Air France one. I bid on the all pewter one, which seems to be brand new and unblemished, from a seller in the UK. It ends tomorrow, should be about US$30 including shipping which seems reasonable to me...I can't wait. :)

Wow, great stuff! If you all put all of your collections together, you could open your own museum!!

My friend has one, you can buy them at Sporty's.

EDIT: Sorry, you can get a taxiway LAMP: http://sportys.com/acb/showdetl.cfm?&di ... ct_id=6866

A few years ago I almost bought a 747 door from eBay. I've been kicking myself ever since!

That Malaysian 777 is gorgeous. I'm tempted.

No taxiway light, but packed away (I'll have to find it and post a photo at some point) is a genuine Strategic Air Command fence warning sign, including that famous phrase "Use of deadly force authorized."

I've got 2 taxiway lights - one that's been made into a lamp and has a short stem (the usual-looking dome style, not the Sporty's triangle ones), and one that came from LGA during some construction there back in the early 90s that has the full stem. That one will be lamped eventually, but it's just sitting in a closet for now.

Don't knock the taxiway light lamps, either. Put a 15-watt bulb in it, and you get a nice soft blue light that doesn't keep you up at night, yet will keep you from walking into things when you amble around for a 3am snack. Functional, pretty, aviation nerdly, what's not to love?

The leather wrapped one is nice. My friend has it, got hers signed by Leslie Scott, the pilot who broke of Concorde's records and she uses it religiously, as its intended to be used.

Wow - an 880! How cool is that! Great picture Mike.

Many years ago, there was no net. Just books! And trips to the local library. That was all there was, its now all so quaint.

The Great Airliners series is only a few years old, but the rest is from the 70's.
