It actually turned out a lot better than I thought it would when Jimmy bought it. Congratulations to all involved, and I hope to see it in person one day.

6:50 "So, let's take a look at some of the details ... go inside if possible?" Jimmy should have said "Sure, got ten bucks?" :D

Well done Jimmy. Great job, I thought he had dug a big hole when he bought this at auction. Just proves, with passion and great vision anything is possible.

Jimmy you're a genius. This thing spent almost 40 years in the desert, and nobody wanted it. Now a bunch of keyboard commandos hiding behind their avatars criticize you for taking a risk and preserving history. This nation was built by people with guts that took risk and worked hard. Ignore the losers. Viva la Maquina!

I have to admit, I never thought Jimmy could pull this off but gotta give him credit.

Great wrap job! Elvis is smiling from heaven!

Jimmy stopped by Graceland on his way to Oshkosh and they fired the girl who let him into the parking lot, so let Graceland know how you feel about that.

Hey Jimmy, thank you so much for deciding to fly it into Oshkosh. She absolutely flipping BELONGS there. Blue skies, man!

[AGLNET]

I think a GREAT name would be "Burnin Love." Fantastic job on the build, Jimmy. You and your team hit a home run.

Glad to see you at the show. I love our pic of the Fabulous Flamingo and the The jet Nose to Nose!!

Was great to see it at Oshkosh after following its journey on YouTube .

[gobfranklin]

Amazing job Jimmy and crew! Really amazing when you consider all they had to overcome.

[GCGould]

can't believe how great looking it is. The "body panels" of the RV chassis are amazingly well done. Great job. Hope you get to the Northeast sometime. I'm originally from St Pete, graduate of USF

[RoastBeef]

Better than i imagined. Maybe have some audio/video pieces that can play on loop Elvis tv, and music inside and out to make a more complete experience. Good job

[ricksteelcustoms]

Jimmy you did a fantastic job on this jet!

[keithhuotari]

It's brilliant and I was very happy to see this in Oshkosh!! Thank you for coming.

[drlarcey]

Jimmy, you really knocked it out of the park. I’ve been following this since the auction and that’s just amazing follow-through brother. Great job good example for your kids.

[dr_goldwinger]

[Dan_Bender]

He must have used that Milsek furniture polish on that wood! I sent him a case. Great stuff!
