Being that my boyfriend’s whole life has been based around aviation, all he ever wanted was a model plane collection.  Two years ago, our second Christmas together, I decided to start that tradition for him.  Deciding on the first model was easy. 

Both his Great Grandfather and Grandfather worked for PanAm so what better plane to start off with.  Little did I know what a hassle it would be to get a model PanAm 747.  For 6 months I placed orders and received emails stating the plane was discontinued.  I even called companies first where they assured me it was in stock until I placed the order and a couple weeks later once again, it was discontinued.  By now Christmas had come and gone. Determined to still find this model, I had to print out a picture and give my boyfriend an IOU. 

Then one night I came across my last hope. WarPlanes.com. I picked up the phone and called where it went directly to a representative.  The man on the other end was so nice and sincere after I told him my story.  He then placed me on hold for about a minute or less before he came back and said “Mam’ I am looking at that model as we speak, Its a PanAm 747 and we have about 2 left, if you’d like I can take your information right now and have it out to you by tomorrow”. I was almost in tears.  Not only was the plane in stock, but it was even less expensive then ANY of the other sites I tried ordering from. 

The model was shipped directly to my boyfriends house and even he almost shed a tear when he opened it. It was a BEAUTIFUL model, and a great way to start off his collection.  From that Christmas on, I vowed to never order another model plane from any other site but warplanes.com!
