WTF?!
« on: May 06, 2008, 05:19:58 PM »
O.k. any of you blokes ever watch Top Gear? If you can't get it on cable go to youtube and watch some clips. Anyway... as I'm watching some of the runs around their test track I keep seeing this modified 747 in the back ground http://www.28dayslater.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=11327&page=3 my question is it just a movie prop or is it airworthy?

never saw that before.  Looks like the wing is shortened, maybe cut down at the outboard pylon?  Been a while since I been close to one, but thats my impression.
