My Son-in-Law John came up with this airplane idea for Grandson Jack’s room, since he wanted it done in airplanes. My Wife & Daugheter painted the blu sky & clouds on the wall, John & I constructed the plane from a drawing he had done on a piece of scrap paper. The prop was cut/sanded/carved from a solid Oak 2×6 & actually has the pitch like a real prop. The leading edge of the wings are from a ripped oak 2×4 & sanded to a rounded front edge, we used oak plywood for the shelving & undersides. note the landing lights in the bottom of the wings. The fuselage is a wastebasket with some plastic paint for the stripe. Jack loves his airplane…............Thanks for looking

Does it double as a wall-mounted fan too? ;)
