It looked like the battle of the comic book heroes this past Sept. in Terre Haute.
In the end, Robosaurus left the field of battle, so I guess the "Skymaster" won!

Way to go Berlin Airlift Boys!!!

Nice teeth!

They said no smoking on the ramp, but nobody said anything about an open flame!

I was wondering when those pics would get out.

I've seen that thing eat a Chevy, I couldnt imagine what it would do to the "Spirit"!

Its a good thing for us that someone fed him already!

:shock:

Kevin;
I sent the whole lot to Tim a couple of months back. He wanted them for the Newsletter. Probably for a feature article on ramp safety!

It was set up for the local press, so I think I might have been one of the few people close by with a camera. I couldn't pass it up!

Kevin,
The only reason Robo didn't eat your Douglas is that it has better taste then to gobble down a Skymaster.
