Just had to try this: ----- If you're on a dial-up, find something to do for a while after you click the link. It's certainly worth watching, though. This is just awesome! Boy's & their toys..... -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Subject: Model B-52 This has got to be the most amazing model aircraft ever built by hobbyists. Please download the 9 minute video of its maiden flight. See the hyperlink below the photo. This is an audio-visual presentation, so have your sound turned up. The roar of the jet engines are amazing. From takeoff to landing, it is quite a show. Also, observe the illuminated landing lights in front of the forward gear doors. If you can top this, I'd love to see it. If you are confined to the dial-up section, please be patient, the show is worth the wait. Enjoy! Actually has 8 "real turbines" at about $1500 each! Took over 2 years to build. It has a wing span of about 22 feet. Takes multiple pilots, as there are so many things to control. Think they were nervous during the maiden flight? Unbelievable that someone would make this - all real turbines! Check out the movie link below to see the first flight. B-52 model plane! http://www.mcgirt.net/RC/VIDEOS/Giant_B52/B52_flight2.wmv

Dang!! The URL is OK, but it won't open on Netscape.

It opens on Microsoft Explorer and AOL (which is prolly MS)

Cut and paste 'till it works - it's worth it if you like aircraft.................FRegards

That R/C B-52 went kersplat into the ground a while back and is no more.
