We will post more about each of the individual planes in the future.

Stealth Fighter

Stealth fighter jet.
The first Stealth fighter goes to the boneyard.

We’d tell you how it works, but then we’d have to stab you with a balloon sword.
Sent to us by Karen’s first boss, who finds lots of pretty cool stuff.

Blue Angel F-11A

John’s business and clown activities take him all over central and Eastern NC. This is an area of the country with a rich history of aviation. As a result, he encounters a lot of “planes on sticks.” He thought he’d create a blog post to track the retired airplanes he encounters.

We found this Blue Angel F-11A jet, with a complete story, in New Bern, NC.
