So I'm watching TV last night.

They are showing a scale model of a high rise building that was being
tested for it's ability to withstand wind.

Then they show an engine from a Lancaster being fired up to produce the
wind.

On a stand, complete with Lanc nacelle, and contra rotating props.

So my kinda curious question.

How many of you know of aviation engines out there that are being used
for oddball type jobs.

The New York Central Railroad mounted a twin pod off (I believe) a
B-36 on the top of a (once again, I believe) a Budd rail car to test
high speed rail capability. I used to have the pic of it, but I can't
find it right now.
