>>The aircraft is externally complete to Static display/museum standards and would make a truly stunning garden feature.



The aircraft could also make a truly life-absorbing obsession for a retired professor of mechanical engineering. Over the months, the professor slowly fixes internals to make the jet fighter air-worthy, stockpiles stolen armaments, and trains for his ultimate strafing run on University X. His long suffering wife calls him for meals, oblivious to his plans or to his tragic past

... this from a fusion of Roth's _The Human Stain_ and Gass's _The Tunnel_.
