Fantasy of Flight Crash Victim The most eye catching form of advertising we have is a DC-3 that looks as if it has crashed on the side of Interstate 4 (runs between Tampa and Orlando), many people have thought it was a real plane crash. We also have a pilot with a parachute on his back hanging from the tailwheel debating whether to jump or not. We are looking for a handful of fake gators to put on the ground under him. We dress him like Santa, a leprechaun, the Easter Bunny, and a pilgrim during the appropriate times of the year.
