Very cool thanx for the pics. I have always loved the SkyCrane. Always thought it should have gotten much more use in it's intended design.

I like that too...
Check out the jet car in this thread - it had a P&W engine putting out 6000HP!

Scroll down and there is a video I posted. What you will not notice is the ear pain that I experienced afterward... He ran twice - we enjoyed it.
