You do know that that Ford commercial could happen in real life...... One morning at AA we were in desperate need of another push tractor, but none could be found. So we just hooked up this old, reallll old, Ford pickup to the RJ and towed it about a half mile. It was one of the funniest things Ive seen there. I wish I would have had a camera.
Anyway, back to the topic. I owned the fusalage of a Bowers Flybaby for about a year. The owner was going to get rid of it, so I saved it from the scrap yard. I eventually sold it for a pretty decent profit.
Another plane that I REALLY want to build someday is a Pietenpol Aircamper. Its a little wooden parasol. Powered by a Corvair engine.
