Perhaps slightly off-topic, but if anyone was intrigued by the thread topic line and can't make it to that show, there's a neat airline memorabilia shop at ORD. Take the tunnel to the airport Hilton; it's on your right opposite where you'd turn left to enter the hotel. (A great location for walk-ins who happen to be passing by for another reason, but not as well publicized as it should be otherwise.)

Great post Efrem. I have walked by that place zillions of times. They seem to close somewhat early though. I am usually walking by at 8pm or so. I did happen to go in once or twice and they had a great selection of models etc..

It is a good store... if you like paying $10 more for items than you should. You can get just about anything in there for cheaper over the internet (including shipping). Nice to browse, but I don't usually purchase... just take notes then go home and save money.

I've bought a few things at that shop. As an aside, is there usually a 40-ish, dark haired, kinda heavy set guy working there when you shop? I assume he's the proprietor.
On the morning of February 1st I was there and the guy was listening intently to the radio... it was then I learned of the Columbia disaster. The guy was so choked up he had to close up shop for a while to collect himself.

If anyone goes by that shop on a regular basis and wouldn't mind looking for a specific item, please let me know. Thanks.
