they need to put the 727s on caravans.   And they might be bullet proof but they arent idiot proof ;)  guess what happens when you let a buddy help you service your 727 and he uses the wrong torque wrench and tightens your bands to 150ft/lbs instead 150in/lbs. :(

I spent an entire summer rebuilding that transmission after that; and without that genius's help.  I wouldnt let him come within 50ft of my truck after that

Ha didnt know that stormtrooper one

In the original Star Wars, all the R2-D2 shots where he goes from 2 legs to 3 and moves, were all cut short.  The outer legs were off center, so as R2 drove away, you can see the legs are pulling apart from his body.

(It was also a pneumatic system)

Also, you can always tell which R2 was the one Kenny Baker was inside.  If you look closely at the feet, there are holes cut into the Battery Boxes for his legs to slide into.
