Poking around on the internet at lunch today and started reading about this rich guy in Oakton, VA who purchased an X-Wing and has it on display in his backyard. Apparently, there's a trail you can take to view it through a fence in his yard.

I had to get rid of the TIE after the second kid. A shame, that thing was fast as hell and had a beautiful engine note.

That's cool, but just wait until I finish my built-to-scale Ewok village in the woods behind my house.

Once the kids came along the wife made me give up my defender class Corvette and get an Imperial class Star Destroyer. Man I miss that ship.

If I had the money to have one of those in my backyard, I’d stick the cockpit with screens and play the X-Wing flight sim sitting in it.
