One of the pictures includes a person so you can get an idea of the scale. The airplanes look to be about 2' long. That must be so much fun to play with!

If there's anyplace on Earth I want to see before I die, it's this. Incredibly, the airport exhibit only scratches the surface of the amazing things to be seen there.
