VPNAVY has grown thanks to everyone's contributions.

My lovely wife, Anne - has never complained about my time and expense of keeping VPNAVY on-the-air. A few other shipmates have suggested ways to recover operating costs. They suggested marketing mugs, t-shirts, etc. with the VPNAVY Logo. So, I decided to "cut deals" with some folks that offer merchandise that I think would be well received yet support the purpose of VPNAVY. Unfortunately, since I have to limit my up-front expeditures, I don't obtain the greatest prices from my vendors.

PLEASE - there is no obligation for anyone visiting VPNAVY to purchase the merchandise below - do so at your own volition. I will keep VPNAVY on-the-air regardless.

While this will only defray a very small portion of the cost of maintaining my site - it will make my wife very happy (smile).

Established: 27APR2006 Purchases: 26 Last Purchase: 23AUG2008	VPNAVY will receive 25% for each order! Hand-carved display models from solid Mahogany Pacific Aircraft has been producing the world's finest hand-made military, civilian and airline models since 1988. The high level of workmanship combined with the inherent appeal of the airplane, make these aerosculptures true works of art. You will be proud as you add each new model to your collection. Our master craftsmen,working from three-dimensional drawings, chip away the excess wood from the kiln-dried block until an airplane amazingly appears. They work their tools with remarkable precision and unusual attention to detail. Several stages of fine sanding, between primer coats, produce a silky smooth finish ready for final painting. Talented artists using ultra-fine brushes, paint the nose art, stripes and markings. We select the aircraft and paint schemes for their historical significance and authenticity. A final coat of clear lacquer provides lasting protection to the exquisite finish. Pacific Aircraft stocks over 1,000 different models. You will find a superb selection of private aircraft, and airliners, as well as models from the WW I, WW II, Korean, Vietnam and Persian Gulf eras. If the model you want is not on the list, ask us about it. You may choose to display your model on its mahogany based chrome pedestal that is included, or on an optional, variable-pitch wall mount with adjustable settings.

From that humble mail order beginning more than 20 years ago, the company has grown to be an international publisher and seller of thousands of aviation items including books, videos, art, models, kits, puzzles and much more. The company is now owned by Greg Herrick’s Sky Media LLC. Greg is well known in aviation circles for his extensive collection of Golden Age and other interesting aircraft.
