Jesse, I've met Kermit and been to FoF many times. Sadly he had to close it as an attraction but was hosting special events. Orlampa is a future 'city' that will form when Tampa extends to the east and Orlando to the west. A sign out front reads Future Home of Orlampa. He's also got three oil field pumps out along I-4 and an old DC3 that's nosed in with propellers bent over and a 'pilot hanging from his parachute. Sad 'cause it was just such a great place and collection.
I walked thru the Pima Air and Space Museum in Tucson a couple of weeks ago and saw one of these planes up close. Even after watching the video I'm still having trouble comrehending how something that big gets off the ground!
