PLANE CRAZY: MAN CREATES ART USING CRASHED AIRPLANES

DALLAS, Tex. (Wireless Flash) -- Here's a story that's just "plane crazy:" There's a man in Dallas who's creating sculptures using metal retrieved from crashed airplanes. Sculptor Kelhalla Hunter says he got the idea after he crash landed a Cessna 182 into Lake Texoma. When he surveyed the wreckage, the 28 year old thought to himself, "That would make a great sculpture." These days, the Picasso of plane sculptures spends up to two months on each piece, some of which are worth as much as $25,000. One of the sculptures resembles a giant remote control while another looks like a giant cellular phone. Currently, he's working on a giant tic tac toe board. Hunter has discovered that bomber planes are the best candidates to convert into sculpture because they have large flat panels. He says F-14s are the worst because they're too "rounded" and don't have much usable metal.
