SCRAMBLING TO INTERCEPT THE ERRANT BUCYRUS ERIE FLIGHT 30-B, THE FIGHTER PILOTS COULD SEE THAT THE CRAFT WAS UTTERLY PILOTLESS....

?

It just goes to show that a crane company should never have built airplanes!

Thanks Stephen

I grew up in Erie when they were still in business. this is a great shot with nice color and composition. really like how you got all the gear detailed inside the cab(pit). good work David. regards, J.K.

Thank you for your comment. It is greatly appreciated.

Amazing title. The very words I thought when I first saw the image . . .

Thanks. Nice to see you here.

It'll never get off the ground! Maybe that's a GOOD thing...

I was thinking that with a top gun pilot, this baby would be pretty impervious to anti aircraft fire. Thanks for checking it out.

Well, I'm sure that aircrafts like this would be very useful for digging deep holes in the ground. What I can't figure out is how they make it fly sideways, since the front window is covered. I can see several levers, certainly very useful, and I'm sure there is also an ejaculation buttton for someting to bail out in case of trouble. To wrap it up - all passangers, hold on to your tights (or is it hold on tight?), we are about to land...

"Ejaculation" or "ejection" button? Well, hell, I guess it would be good to have both in the cab of this behemoth. Thanks for looking. This is one of my favorites.

I bet because of the ejaculation button...oh, dear..or is it an ejection button?

Don't both eject, though?
