ROANOKE, VA. - We've had
dozens of you send in pictures of your bumper stickers and license
plates and the unique stories behind them. One man in Roanoke County has
a license plate that connects not only two of his passions but his
present and his past.
Bob Davis' first love isn't cars, it's
planes. He served four years in the Air Force. During the mid-1960s he
was stationed in Puerto Rico where he worked on bombers.
"We were
glorified service station attendants," he says with a laugh. "What we
would do is check the oil, fill her up, check the tires."
It was
during that time, in 1964, Ford introduced the Mustang, legend has it
the name is a nod to the P-51 Mustang fighter plane that became famous
during World War II.
"Warbird" Bob's garage is a shrine to his
two passions- his 1964 Mustang and his collection of World War II radio
controlled planes. They are united by his license plate which simply
reads "P-51A." I had to see both in motion and find out how the R-C seed
was planted. Watch the video above to see the rest of the story.
