Dad's pride and joy

My awesome dad has been dreaming for years to build a plane and he is finally doing it. He is building, currently and temporarily in his drive way and garage, an F-82 Twin Mustang. There are only 4 entire models in existense all of which are currently in museums across the country. My dad is building the one and only replica. All the rest were built and used in the Korean war which his late father faught in with the marines in the early 1950's. These air crafts are never air borne because of their classic nature and rarety. I am so proud of him and love watching his progress. The finished product, which will initially be used to sell skins to national museums, will be 33 ft long by 44 ft wide with the actual body of the plane only being 31" wide. Crazy!
