Here are a few of my favorite items that I've collected. A couple of pieces from the MAAM's P-61 from the horizontal stabilizer.  A piece of a C-60 with some custom "nose art" based on one of my cats and a B-29.  A piece of skin from Diamond Lil', Ole 927, Diamond Lil'...  And a piece of skin from one of the CAF Buchons.  |

You pretty much name it and I collected it at one time or another, except for aircraft parts unless you count a 1" square piece of a B-17 which crashed in Germany during the war and was found in a forest after the war. I am big into autographs, My prize possession is a set of seven books signed by various astronauts. I've collected Star Wars plates, comic books including a full set of "The Nam", non-sport and aircraft trading cards, Challenge Coins, Patches, Models most mostly unbuilt and as you can tell by my signiture am active in some museums. I love collecting. It has been in my blood since childhood. I just wish the stuff was worth to others what I think it should be. (I could use the money, unfortunately) Of course, to me it's priceless. As soon as I learn how to work my camera, I'll take and post some pics. That is all, Major Tom  P.S. My late wife had an amazing spoon collection (with my help of course). Again, I wish we could have gone to the places the spoons are from. |

A couple of my latest acquisitions. B-25 cowl flap and exhaust stack. I'm thinking about stripping the paint off the exhaust stack and let it get it bit of natural surface rust on it like one that's in service.  |
