I went to the BMW dealer to get modern Norma clamps. So much better than those worm drive things.

In this strange world, one of the larger HVAC companies in the area has a main office 300 yards from our facility in an industrial area. The owner is a customer in our boatyard where we have refinished the woodwork on his $600K try-hull pontoon boat. As a hobby, he makes prop cars. Scooby Doo van, Duke of Hazzard etc.. A couple of month ago he bought a 40s twin engine plane for his other workshop on a major road, and set it up as a lawn ornament. Installed the wings and engines, up on its gear, and had a guy polish the aluminum so it looks new, and painted logos, tail etc... BatSH!@ crazy $$s for something just to part out front.
Fast forward to last month when I see through my office window a flatbed truck go by with a F-XXX on it. After lunch I ran some errands, and the same guy bought and plopped down on his HVAC HQ a 1960s F-101 Voodoo nuclear fighter bomber...for lawn art. How much $$ do you have to have for your yard gnome to be a USAF fighter?

This probably isn't going to buff out. Older F-15D flown by Oregon ANG. Pilot walked away (good news).
