Default Plane crashes into tree

That is one of the strangest crash pictures I have ever seen. One lucky
hombre.

To bad that one has been altered. It is really at a Florida bar.

Here's the unaltered photo.

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.

There's a flying club that has a similar decoration in
Australia. I've got a picture of it somewhere I'll put up.

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.

That's a pretty good Photoshop job.
The accident report cites "mismanagement of fuel" and
"COMPLETE*POWER*LOSS*-*COMPLETE*ENGINE*FAILURE/
FLAMEOUT-1*ENGINE EMERGENCY*CIRCUMSTANCES*-*
FORCED*LANDING*OFF*AIRPORT*ON*LAND
REMARKS-*SIGHT-SEEING*FLT. L*WING*HIT*SIGN*ON*GOLF*

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.
