A P-47...but wait....its not real. Let me explain. For the past 3 1/2 years I have had a flag pole in my yard. Being one that tends to be "out of the box" I dont have the typical "ball" on the top of the pole. I had an F-104 up there for almost 3.5 years. Last month I retired the starfighter and replaced it with a 1/48 scale model P-47. I made it so the plane would turn into the wind and the prop turns.
So what makes this plane so tough? On the 21st of july a thunderstorm hit this area with 60mph+ winds. This storm took out hundreds of trees and the power for over 20,000 homes. My little plane survived the storm and the next three days of t-storms and is still upthere guarding my flag!
Cool, uh?!!
