An anonymous donation of two airplanes to Battleship Memorial Park in Mobile, Alabama, turned out to be from late singer Jimmy Buffett.
. The Grumman Goose was used in anti-submarine warfare patrol in the Royal Canadian Air Force in 1940, and the Boeing Stearman was used in a music video for his song “A Trip Around the Sun.”Now in front of the two planes stands a memorial display to Buffett which includes one of his iconic Hawaiian shirts on display.
Tiffany and Robert Bell, A veteran couple visiting the display, consider themselves huge “Parrotheads” — the nickname coined for Jimmy Buffett fans. They are such big fans that they actually live in a Margaritaville-style residential community in Panama City Beach, Florida “It was also a neat surprise to see that Jimmy Buffett had donated the two planes, being just a stand-up guy all around,” added Tiffany.
. It then became Buffett’s goal to receive his private pilot’s license by his 40th birthday, and he accomplished that a year before and purchased a Lake Renegade. Eventually, Buffett received his commercial pilot’s license.
