Is sthis the park down by the river?

I cannot remember his name.  He was a Sgt in the Air Force and was stationed at Wright Patterson about that time.  (I was at Wright-Patterson then.)  He built these large scale models, all to the same scale.  If I remember right, he had a C-124, a C-5, maybe a B-29 and several others that I cannot remember.  There was an article about him in the Air Force magazine about that time (which I do not have a copy).

I do know that all of his models were built to the same scale which, if I rmember right was 1/2" to the foot (1/24th full size).  That B-52 whould have about an 8 ft span and would have a tail about 20 inches high which is about what that picture shows.  (Needless to say, his C-5 was huge.)

The Buzzin' Buzzards did a model demo at one of the WPAFB Foreign Technology Division family day picnics. Sgt Ford flew his C5, off the grass. It was quite a handful.
