You would have to really love something to recreate it using original parts in your garage.  I don’t quite see the appeal in the upper deck of the Pan-Am 747 but clearly this guy does and people should pursue their passions.  I can’t say as I’m surprised to read that he’s single but maybe he just hasn’t met the right flight attendant yet.

While I had no personal experience with PanAm prior to 1988 went I went to Europe as a student and lost a classmate on Flight 103, the story did get me thinking back to the decade before that. Growing up in Jet City (i.e. Seattle) meant pre-school field trips to Alaska Airlines and getting to run my doll thr0ough the airport scanner so I could see her ‘heart’.  Why can’t we have bright yellow airplanes with smiley faces painted on the nose cone anymore? ok, it was a bit much but it did make the airport a more interesting place to wait.
