Hello and Welcome to another episode of Ohio Mysteries; Backroads. In today's episode we explore one of the most unique airplane collections ever assembled. This collection grew out of one man's drive and passion and would come to attract worldwide attention and even cause pilots to change their flight plans to just to sneak a peek at these rare aircraft. Walter Soplata through sheer will and determination would purchase, disassemble, transport and reassemble these aircraft and storing them in his yard.
