Check this one out: http://www.aviatordave.com/flight_school.htm David - KGSP To bad that one has been altered. It is really at a Florida bar. Here's the unaltered photo. http://www1.airliners.net/open.file/0480799/L/ The tag line reads. N3547R "Too low on finals again Hoskins" !!! - located at a nightclub on the east side of Hwy 441/92 (Orange Blossom Trail) north of the Florida Mall and south of I-4. |

Yes it is a prop at a bar in Orlando but the bar is no longer in business. They must have had an aviation theme of some sort because out back they have a stair truck that was used by the airlines in the old days before jetways. The images on Airliners.net show the plane in fairly good condition, but it is currently falling apart and extremely weathered. I know it wasn't a fantastic job of photoshopping but I didn't want to spend all day on it for a little gag on this NG. David |

In Harrison MI, right across the road from the restaurant on the airport is the "Crash landing Bar". They have a 150 stuck in the roof. I'll try to find a photo of that one. Yes, it looks fake as they just simply used external angle iron braces to hold it in place. Still, it gets drivers attention particularly being right across the road from the airport.

Greg Farris: Doesn't look particularly good to me. Nothing in the picture looks other than staged or faked. Doesn't even look like it was intended to be really believed. True. I should have omitted the words "pretty good" and just left it at that! ;-) |

That's gotta be a prop, not a real crash at that location. Jose -- "There are 3 secrets to the perfect landing. Unfortunately, nobody knows what they are." - (mike). for Email, make the obvious change in the address. |
