    which side of the expressway was it on? i live right near there and bike though it constantly. i'll see if i can find it...
    it is mathematically impossible for either hummingbirds, or helicopters to fly. fortunately, neither are aware of this.

    Yes I saw it too, just out of the tunnel, eastbound on the Right side. But that was months ago and then it was covered more recently, and then yesterday again I saw it exposed.

    So what I think is that the actual sign is the Trump 727 but any new signs are put on top of it. And once in a while, in the middle of replacements, we see the Trump 727 again.
    And I, I took the path less traveled by
    and that has made all the difference......yet...
    I have a feeling a handle of people are going to be very interested in what I post in the near future.

    If its a 727 then its probably a Braniff ad.

    Nope. Its definitely an old Trump Ad.

    Just looked to see if it was currently on googlemaps. No dice.

    Its on one of these signs, probably as a baseboard.

    There's a billboard in Baltimore, just north of the Fort McHenry tunnel, that has an America West A320 in the light blue (the pre-Jurassic Park) scheme as the base. Don't know how often it comes out, since I'm a Harbor Tunnel guy, but I used to see it all the time.
