Although it is a funny comment on the attractiveness of Jack Stone, this
doesn't fit entirely with what Brad J. said at BrickFest. Nice angle though...
That talk related that the plane wasn't designed for an immediate
production. It was going nowhere until Brad went looking for a model to ship
by Father's Day; the designer already had it on display. I bet this "one
day" is a legend. It could have been one day to make some fix-ups to his
plane to ensure production, but still it was marketed quickly.
I wonder: if that designer were making one model per day, how often does he
turn out a winner, and how many gems are waiting for the right vice
president to walk in?
