At this very moment, a truck driver near Durham, North Carolina tells his friend “hold mah beer” and heads off for the nearest airport.
Why didn’t they fly it to its destination?
Might be hard. It’s got no wings.
Not the bridge I thought it was going to be.
Is this @wazroth worthy? I think so.
It was scrapped, then sold for parts. The airline is loudly declaring that this isn’t on them since they don’t own the thing anymore.
I don’t have wings either, but I can fly.
Couldn’t they raise the bridge? Or lower the road? Or both?
I thought it was a scene from Con Air
Not on that plane, @Papasan!
Looks like a Fokker 100.
Have you ever heard of a water curtain sign??

PlaneSpotters.net says it’s an Airbus A320-200. Or an A320-231. And they have an action shot from happier days, in 2014.
No crash bar, no flashing lights. Amateur hour.
Damn. I think I was beaten to it. I was going to ask why they didn’t lower the road.
