I've seen him in traffic twice. Once in a 993 Turbo. The other time in a Mercedes W140 S600. I don't remember him looking funny in the 993. Can't imagine it's much bigger than a C4. I do remember the plates on both cars though, AIR 23 & MJJ JYJ

Very impressive how much these heavies can drop in a single run. A good use of equipment and qualified drivers and operators, IMHO.

Taxpayers are the ones that should be nervous.

The second one (BAE 146) is not a 'heavy'... it's a fairly small commuter airliner. Smaller than a 737.

They have one stationed here, near Denver.

Wow.......


Pictures posted were represented of "ex-airline" aircraft used to fight woodland fires endangering life and property. Just comparing the payload by either a bucket or smaller CDF twin bomber.

He’s back with a bang, though, designing both the astonishing Force 1 supercar (which will shortly be shown in convertible form) and a new electric car, the Fisker EMotion.

No, it’s more like an insanely souped-up Viper. Under the hood is an 8.4 liter V10 just like the Viper’s, but instead of the Viper’s 645 horsepower and 600 pound-feet of torque, the Force 1 engine puts out 745*horsepower and 638 pound-feet of torque. Whoa. According to the company, this car will go from 0-60 in 3 seconds even, and reach a top speed of 218 mph. Yeah, it’s a bit more monstrous than that silly old snake over there.

Leveling the tracks. The days of the "Gandy Dancers" are long gone.
