Don't worry about that. Just ask one of the old geezers to use his walker or electric cart to head over there and carry them back for you.

:D ...well, before this turns into yet another age 60 thread, I'll just plan on having the planes shipped to me...

Captainmav - If you are still looking for desktop models planes you can go to ***********************. Your online source for aviation models, gifts, toys, pilot supplies, and crew supplies., Airplane models, desktop models, and Pilot/crew supplies. (http://***********************). Let me know if this will help.

Weird I got an email with this posting but don’t see the post itself anywhere in the thread? Did the censorship get your reply? In the past I've gotten several emails with links to replies to certain posts only to find out the thread had been closed or the reply had been deleted. Wonder if the same happened here?

Either way, I checked it out, doesn’t look like they’re selling any UPS airplanes…

Then again, according to the Airline Pessimists Central I am about to lose my job very soon so who cares about airplane models, right? :eek:

Just get a model of a cardboard box. Isn't that what you be flying after the furlough?:D

All of the cardboard has been burnt in a mexican prison !

He'll be flying old newspapers on a park bench ... :eek:

:D

SB & CC - I’ve been following the advice of our senior peers and have been diligently preparing for my next job interview...

Repeat after me – “I like boxes, no I LOVE boxes!!!” :D

You can also try one of the shops at the JLGA Market and Mall on Gordon Street in Olongapo, P.I. It is called Survival Arts, run by Greg Quiambao. The phone numbers are 011-0910-295-1759 or 011-0928-576-0356, and the E-mail address is either [email protected] or [email protected] (I've got two business cards, and I'm not sure which one is the current number and address).
Send them an E-mail with the photo of the aircraft you want, and they will be able to make an exact copy. They can make any kind of aircraft or ship model, and their quality is very good. Prices depend on size, with most models under $100. Give 'em a call (only 2 cents/minute using Skype)

[email protected] is Lyndon's email in Clark.

Also, in Itae won, in Seoul...across from the bus stop is a place with a blue awning. I forgot the name of it because I've usually had one too many, but they have models inside the store. It is right across the street from the McDonalds.

I second hyperone's recommendation. I've used Greg a number of times, and the quality of his work is next to none. They also make intricate desk-mounted name plates, and other interesting things, all from local woods. He will ship, via FedEx, and probably also via UPS, back to the USA.
