I did not realize I needed a miniature Boeing 747 in my life but I now know that I do. I could get it painted with the UPS logo for the investing cabinet which, I suppose, would need to be renamed the investing hangar. (Aaron and I don’t hold any meaningful stake in United Parcel Service at the moment but I have a family member with a small position that I managed to picked up for them this summer due to the satisfactory dividend growth coupled with strong balance sheet that should serve as a nice augment to retirement income when they no longer go to work each day). The craftsman behind this amazing machine is Adi Pitz. You can see more examples of his work, including a few pictures in the workshop as he builds them from the raw wood, at this website. This particular flight was piloted by Rainer Kamitz, who pulls off a beautiful landing.
