747 Lawnmower ?..............Yes, this is real, a flying Lawnmower

[Lufthansi]

If you up there in the Cockpit, look out of the window and see an
Lawnmower, don't be alerted, you are not crazy. They now have flying
Lawnmowers. The same group of Hobby-ingenieurs also developed a flying
doghouse and working on a flying Washmachine and a flying refrigerator:

The last time I saw one of these was at a NY Jets vs Patriot game. The
half time show featured a flying lawn mower. The landing was tragic.

That thing is 15-20 years old.

I told a local John Deere dealer about the video, they got a
kick out of it. Their business is along a highway, maybe
they'll a could of lawnmowers to fly over the traffic. I
wonder if you could add some special effects machineguns?

Over a field beside the road might work OK.

The flying lawn mower can't carry much of a payload. It would
be hard to get a big enough sound system to be heard over
the noise of the engine & prop.

I saw a scale Spirit of St. Louis that played Jimmy Stewart's
voice asking, "Which way to Ireland?" The pilot had to
throttle way back and fly close to the flight line to make
the recording audible.
