Sad, sad, sad... fake.

And some weak acting too. What are all the other museum aircraft doing in his backyard? He sure did a good job on the hydraulic system. Excellent explanation on how it works too!.. haha

Cheers,

They probably are now trying to prove that it wasn't a plane that crashed into the Pentagon.

I can't image anyone took it seroiusly...even non airplane people.
Clearly a joke...I only got as far as his wife leaving him when he spent too much time on the gear.

Not to mention..the opening shot is a G/H...and the rest of it is a D.
What's interesting is the whiTe ALCM launcher on the ground under one wing.
Also..."Engine casing" no airplane guy would say that...
"500 TONS" I din't know a 52 was that heavy...
Got parts from Flagstaff, Arizona...heck, I don't think their airport could handle a 52..
And that was in the first minute.

I thought you guys would get a chuckle out of it, although IT DOES remind me of some people I do know, but wont mention as they are still in the same dream they have had for years, you know, the one where airplanes are handed out like candy and you don't even have to say PLEASE SIR, MAY I Have ANOTHER! :roll: :roll: :roll:
