The Flying Jeep

[phiambo01tj]

I was watching the big rigs modern marvels on the History channel wednesday night and they did a clip on different modifications to the old willys war jeeps, and the one was a Jeep-Helicopter hybird that flew about five feet off the ground. It had a huge wing one that would make anyone riceburner owner proud and rotors. I have been searching for a pic of this to post on hear cause i thought it was really funny. Anyone else see this? I'll try to find a pic.

All Jeeps can fly - It's just the landing that they suck at

(This guy ate both front fenders when he landed - thought i had a pic of that but cant find it)
