In this little store, seeing everything could literally take hours.

Of particular interest are all the flying model airplanes hanging from the ceiling. Every single one of them has been flown and every one has a story, with some dating back to the 1950’s. This store is truly a piece of American History, and what better way to show it off than with Google Business View! We at Black Paw Photo are fans of all things that fly. We run our own website dedicated to RC Drones and Multirotors and Anthony is a CFII with various other flight ratings.

A walk through with Google’s virtual tour allows visitors to view each and every item on the shelves here. To truly be immersed in the experience, it is best to click the full screen icon in the upper right of the screen. If you want to read the boxes, don’t forget to zoom in with the + and – controls in the upper left. It would probably take quite some time to take in everything this unique space has to offer.
