Fungezap Junior Member Registered: 04/07/06 Posts: 16 Loc: Atlanta	Came across this video today of a not-so-successful effort to put an A-4 on a pedestal. http://www.break.com/index/crane-crushes-restored-a-4-fighter-jet-2289950

That archeress, she was speaking elvish; or at least it sounded something like that. _________________________ Good people sleep peaceably in their beds at night only because rough men stand ready to do violence on their behalf.

No105_Archie Hotshot Registered: 12/29/00 Posts: 6002 Loc: St. John's , NF, Canada	The crane video was sad ....and the archery kinda cool (pretty light weight bow and short distance...but the speed was amazing) _________________________ Archie Smythe carpe diem

Alicatt Member Registered: 05/13/10 Posts: 515 Loc: Limburg	A4 was not the crane drivers best day Archery was good for the speed she was shooting but not super accurate, certainly I could not fire off my arrows at that speed with my bow.

NoUseForAName Hotshot Registered: 11/02/04 Posts: 5303 Loc: Colorado	They were probably told they couldn't go on the pristine grass with the boom-truck and that was the end result. A few years ago we were using something similar (much smaller of course) for our landscaping company to place these giant landscape boulders, and the owners didn't want us to so much as scuff the turf. In the end we couldn't move a couple of the rocks because the load was too much for the boom length. At least my crew boss was smart enough to call it off and not have something like that happen! _________________________ "No bucks, no Buck Rogers" Case: CoolerMaster HAF-922 MoBo: ASUS M4A89GTD Pro/USB3 PSU: XFX Black Edition 750w CPU: AMD Phenom II x4 965 3.4GHz OC'd -> 3.9GHz RAM: 12GB Mushkin Blackline DDR3 1333/1600 GPU: Palit GTX 560 Ti 2GB Display: Asus 25.5" @ 1920x1200 OS: Win7 Pro 64bit Audio: On-board AC'97 w/ Sony 5.1 surround

wheelsup_cavu Veteran Registered: 12/03/08 Posts: 17658 Loc: Corona, California	Sad to see them drop the plane. I hope the crane operator had good insurance before the accident because I'll bet he didn't after it.
