Joey has a passion for all kinds of airplanes, particularly Boeing models. He enjoys drawing pictures of real airplanes, as well as pictures of airplane designs he would like to see made, Tami Hill wrote in an email. <\/p>\n
This winter, he decided hed like to become an aeronautical engineer so he can build some of those models himself in the future. He drew an entire set of diagrams showing the interior and exterior of his dream plane using existing Boeing models as a reference. He detailed out the planes overall size, passenger and cargo capacity, etc. and even tried to estimate the cost it would take to build it. <\/p>\n
