Here is what could be the ultimate trophy.

Taken at the local airport in Longmont, Colorado, my wifes home town. Cloudy, rainy day, yet out popped 24 skydivers just after I took this photo.

Thanks, Ty! I like the sculpture, and understand it...the progression of aviation. I have an idea for a trophy also...but not like that, at all.  H^^ Steve

It starts out with what appears to be an Aviatik or a French monoplane of WW1, but I like the P 51 D and the Supermarine Spitfire.  I have more photos it you want them Steve. y1 H^^

No, Ty. It starts out with the gulls, and man's dream to fly. Amazing progress in only 100 years!  H^^ Steve

Better on the deck of a ship than in the ocean.  Our oceans are already terribly polluted.

I like the statue even tho it looks a little busy.  A lot of details to take in.

All that "dung" is in reality nutrients for when global warming converts the sea beds into farm land . . . oh wait, the seas are going to rise . . . never mind.

For those who like Tilapia, it is mostly farm raised...often under chicken coops!  I used to like it...

Play nice buoys and gulls.  ;D
