On May 23rd, 2012 the area experienced extreme winds of 70+ miles per hour due to a low pressure zone. Without the weight of its engines, the slightly tail heavy 747 tries to take to the skies one last time. The next day the plane was found to have also rotated about 45 degrees from its original position. The same wind storm damaged many rooftops, cut power and sent huge clouds of sand and dust billowing into the sky. Mojave will occasionally experience this type of wind storm due to geography ASUS ROG STRIX Z390-E GAMING / i9-9900k @ 4.7 all cores w/ NOCTUA NH-D15S / 2080ti / 32GB G.Skill 3200 RIPJAWS / 1TB Evo SSD / 500GB Evo SSD / 2x 3TB HDD / CORSAIR CRYSTAL 570X / IPSG 850W 80+ PLATINUM / Dual 4k Monitors
May 27, 201214 yr My dad showed me this. At first, I thought it was fake, but then I read the description and it seems the airplane had barely anything on it, not even engines. i7-6700K @ 4.5 GHz, 16 GB DDR4-2400 MHz, GTX 1070 8GB
May 27, 201214 yr Yeah the CG and the light weight really make it easy to toss the aircraft on the tail. Pretty spectacular seeing something like this move with just wind. Chris Miller

June 12, 201213 yr Imagine if the flaps were down! The slats look like they are forward though. They must have been disconnected?
