I found this model among a few that a family member used to have, but I can't seem to find out exactly what it is.

It looks like some type of ramjet UAV from the late 60's or 70's. Any ideas?

I would not have found it, had it not been for my years of experience in the Where's That Landmark thread.

Ha! I thought Fuzzyfelt was going to hold the record, with 6 weeks. It's been over a year since I posted the last landmark. :bugeye:

hmmm... Maybe they want another clue. :rolleyes:

Do they still have the 747 water-slide?

I've heard of the place, but I actually don't know where McMinville is.
Though I know it's closer than Kansas.

I still haven't been able to identify the ladies in that picture in the landmark thread. I will get it one of these days. Another clue would be nice.:approve:

BTW Always yield to unknown objects on the highway.
