Jonah Padberg was a typical boy growing up. He was into sports, cub scouts and various other activities. It wasn't until his parents bought him a Mega Blocks A-10 Warthog for his 7th birthday that he truly found his passion for designing and building Lego creations. The following birthdays and Christmases, Lego was at the top of his wish list and his skills grew with each passing year. His interest in various aircraft stemmed from his grandfather's World War II Naval Service, where he flew Torpedo Bombers from aircraft carriers. When he was about 13, he began constructing aircraft with Lego and by his own admission these first creations were not the well detailed kits you see today. His talents grew from those first aircraft.
