A large carbon-steel sculpture of Snoopy piloting a red-and-white fighter plane, one of roughly two dozen scrap-metal sculptures at Eclectic Menagerie Park along the edge of Texas Pipe and Supply's 108-acre pipe yard, Houston. Built by longtime Texas Pipe and Supply welder Ron Lee (a 50+-year employee who passed away in 2017) from repurposed industrial materials, in the same larger-than-life whimsical-scrap-metal tradition as the park's other pieces. Promoted as one specific, well-documented piece within the larger park, which is itself held separately under the multi-object-collection exclusion, matching the established precedent already used for other standout individual pieces there (the chrome owl, the giant fishing rod hooking a truck, and the dragon-and-King-Kong-on-a-crane).
