My Fathers Day gift this year was the spectacular Lego Concorde model kit, an adult-level "toy" that, once built, results in a detailed model of the iconic Concorde supersonic airliner measuring 41.5 inches long by 17 inches wide! I'm having a great time working on building the model, and have been astounded by the intricacy and detail provided (like the onboard lavatories seen here) - will post more photos of the completed effort!

Our customers are the best inspiration! During the 2023 Airliners International show in Dallas, we had a lively discussion with a couple of customers who were buying several of our acrylic airplane swizzle sticks.

BUT... we only carry airlines that are no longer in business AND have an expired trademark. So airlines...

We had an excellent time at the Airliners International 2023 show held at DFW Airport at the end of June! Many thanks to the show organizers and volunteers of the World Airline Historical Society, hotel staff, our fellow sellers/vendors and the interesting, discerning, enthusiastic customers we met. A highlight of the show was the many stories we heard from customers about their personal connection to a particular airline or airliner.
