Looking for a fuselage

As others have suggested, I think that a more abstract artistic piece will
enhance the hotel more than a Cessna on a stick. That will likely look
dilapidated in short order.


The Supermall near Auburn, WA had an Ercoupe sans landing gear mounted on a
pylon. That was the coolest Ercoupe ever!

Ercoupe? I'm sure Jay can do better than that!

How about this? http://www.thebomber.com/restaurant.asp

There's a DC3 outside a tavern in Moree, Australia.

I apologize I confused the names, I meant Dave.

I think Slick meant www.MotoArt.com. Unfortunately Tim Roberts died
October 11, 2004, apparently of natural causes.

The others guys will probably help you out, though.

Anyone know where I can find an old Cessna 140 (for example) fuselage for
cheap that I could mount on a pole out front? Or a big ol' Convair
prop?
Something I could hoist up onto a 3-story sign, to catch the eye of
travelers?

If you are going 3 stories up, you'll need something of size. There is a
restaurant on Century Blvd across the street from the approach end of Runway
25L at LAX that has fiberglass replicas of WW2 fighters. They manufacture
them for sale.too. I seem to remember the name of the restaurant is the
'Rainbird'. They literally took a real plane and covered it with plaster to
form a mold.

Cool place to drive by (never stopped), just make sure
you get the right spot. 'The Wild Goose' is *not* the place. :-)
The restaurant is called "The Proud Bird."

Cool! I vote for the X-1. And a cherry-picker with a pressure washer!

He who would distinguish what is true from what is false must have an
adequate understanding of truth and falsehood.

We have a restaurant here in Colorado Springs that has a KC-97 as part
of the restaurant. The left wing actually goes into the building and
they have a staircase that goes into the fuselage. There are several
tables up there so you can dine in the plane itself. Here is the

Here's a somewhat 'famous' fuselage for sale. Price reduced, also. It was
$8k last time they listed it...

Hey -- isn't that the one that has the amazing changing "N" number? :-)

It seems to me that this movie has one of the biggest aviation gaffes of all
time, showing a different Cessna on the ground than in the air.

(Or am I remembering a different movie?)
