That became the 1966 (Adam West) Batmobile:

This , exactly. I fly aswell and I have been illuminated by lasers a fair few times. Completely messes with your vision and ability to fly the aircraft.

I would go for a classic convertible. Something like a Porsche 356 or the Pagoda Mercedes SL (a W113). A memorable day must have an equally memorable car, in my opinion :).

Did you read the rest of the article? The wings of the Convair 118 detach to create a quite handsome looking little car.

Apart from the novelty that it is a Merkur there is nothing special about this car. European versions (the Ford Scorpio) are going for €1750 max (approx $2300) and that is for a 1994 model. So CP.

Something for Mr Glickenhaus maybe? He is the only one with enough of the proper "cargo" for this truck.

Go check out the French movie "Les chevaliers du ciel" (or Sky Knights). Just about as thin of a storyline as TopGun, but much better air to air footage of Mirages, Alpha Jets etc.

That is awesome

Obligatory Jay Leno's Garage episode ;)

Happy 747 is happy

Ooh, I like this one, looks like a WRC car.

And why would that be? I fly it myself and I've never had any trouble. The rudder issues have been fixed and I'm not aware of any other big issues with the aircraft.

The only one I ever saw in the flesh was blue on blue like the one at the bottom of the page, in Amsterdam. That color works amazingly well on that car and sort of pays homage to Bugatti history.

They did, if you look at the picture at the bottom of the article you can see the front 2 still attached to the aircraft and what looks like one of the rear ones floating halfway down the wing. They are designed to separated from the aircraft and it is standard procedure (at least in my company) to do so in the event…

737's don't have inflatable slides over the wings, only at the 4 doors at the front and the rear.

Yeah, that just made my weekend! Awesome news Jason!

This, so much. I've been looking for one all day now, found a really nice 1990 Integrale (no Evo unfortunately) for less than €10.000,- . Extreeeeeemly tempted right now

Damn Torch, that sucks, about 9 time zones too far away to help, but I hope you'll find it soon!

Don't forget the 907!
