We just had two giant-scale aviation wind vanes erected atop our
3-story sign, out front of our aviation theme-suite hotel in Iowa City.
One of them (of course!) is our Pathfinder, plasma cut from extremely
heavy-gauge steel and weighing in at over 27 pounds!

The guy who made 'em for us is based in Northwestern Iowa, and he makes
smaller versions as well. He also hand crafts the bases to fit any
application, whether atop a fence post or atop a church steeple. See
his website he http://www.weathervaneman.com/

Our installation was obviously a major undertaking (read the whole
story he http://www.alexisparkinn.com/aviation_wind_vanes.htm , but
smaller versions would be a snap to install.

You've got a month before Xmas to order one!

Very nice! The Piper looks pregnant, but the bomber looks nice. :-)
