So jealous. Would love to do that and I'm not ashamed to admit I would be making engine noises whilst I did it. 🙂

Disgraceful! Treating faithful servants like that. Old planes matter.

I agree with the sentiment, Ron. However the excavator operator was only following orders with a bit of artistic interpretation - I very much doubt he was the guy who decided to scrap the planes in the first place. :cool:

$3k plus for that little thing? I'd sooner blow that amount of cash on a piece of RC constrction plant... and take longer to dig out whatever you'd need the backhoe for :biggrin:

Actually IRL I'd use the cash more wisely - replacement car, pay off some bills etc.
