Very cool thanx for the pics. I have always loved the SkyCrane. Always thought it should have gotten much more use in it's intended design.

 

Yep a true workhorse for sure Stickman.. We broke in the one in spring of 95 and she is still flying today......

I still miss the engine whine as she spools up gotta love 9000 ponies waking up

 

Great pictures. A true motorhead likes any kind of hp making machine, and this one sure fits the bill

 

I like that too...
Check out the jet car in this thread - it had a P&W engine putting out 6000HP!

Scroll down and there is a video I posted. What you will not notice is the ear pain that I experienced afterward... He ran twice - we enjoyed it.

 

Here are some vids of the SKycrane for some that are unfamiliar with it.
