Battleship Memorial ParkBuffett donated two aircraft in 2022 and he wanted his donation to be anonymous. Since his death on Friday, the park revealed his gifts and a memorial display in his honor.“His music was a lifestyle and just a vibe of when you wanted to just go on vacation- he was the epitome of permanent vacation,” said Tiffany.“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.
The Bells certainly consider themselves ‘Parrot Heads’. That’s the official title for devoted Buffett fans. “We’ve always been big Jimmy Buffett fans. We live in Margaritaville in Panama City--in a Jimmy-Buffett inspired neighborhood,” added Robert.“It was a neat surprise to see that Jimmy Buffett had donated the two planes--being just a stand-up guy all around,” said Tiffany.In 1940, the Goose was part of the Royal Canadian Air Force. It was used in anti-submarine warfare patrol. The other plane was a key prop in Buffett’s popular music video ‘A Trip Around the Sun’.
A memorial display now sits in front of both aircraft, complete with a wreath and one of Buffett’s iconic Hawaiian shirts.“It’s almost like we knew him even though we never met him,” said Robert. “He was definitely everybody’s friend. A lot of people in our neighborhood are certainly sad this weekend, but we’ll go on listening and celebrating his life for many many years to come.”Copyright 2023 WALA. All rights reserved.
