Not really, it all started with the tariff issues in February and NG, who has the better part of the vast majority of monthly releases pivoted quickly to Asian titles. Our orders with them dove nearly 60%, which is a shame. The vast majority of North American collectors are wanting North...

Luckily my wife is supportive of the fact, but I have some nice wall hanging display cabinets at home that I have a good portion of my narrowbodies in

Next time your up at the shop I can give you access to the Aeroclassic stuff not out on the sales floor. Lot's of prop magic that Andrew does

I believe so
