Never Let an Engineer Fix Your Lawnmower… Posted on 2011/12/20 by OldNFOMarch 6, 2013 Especially if he works for Boeing… OR, just put some cameras on it and fly it over the neighborhood 🙂h/t JP Share this:Click to share on Tumblr (Opens in new window)Click to share on Twitter (Opens in new window)Click to share on Reddit (Opens in new window)Click to share on Pinterest (Opens in new window)Click to print (Opens in new window)MoreClick to share on Facebook (Opens in new window)Click to share on LinkedIn (Opens in new window)
If he could keep it on the ground long enough to cut maybe an acre of grass then I would invite him over 🙂
“Touch and go?” Looked more like a “Mow and go” to me. –AOA (We still cause those T&Gs, “Crash and dash”)
Boeing? Bet their parking lot stickers are blue/silver stripes. And, they have way too much free time.
Thats pretty amazing, thanks for posting this. I’m stealing this and putting it on my blog. BTW We miss you NFO on VC
Rev- Yep 🙂 SS- LOL AOA- Good point! YOF- Yep, that could be fun! WSF- LOL,probably! Supi- Agreed ADM- True! MDEV- Thanks, my schedule just hasn’t permitted me to be on. Andy- It is Paw- Good point! 🙂
@USA Admiral, HAHAHAHAHAHA!!! Wonder if that is a McDonell-Douglas lawnmower? Or maybe M/D engineers? –AOA
I won’t show my brother-in-law (works for JPL) the video or he will try to top the Boeing solution… It’s a metaphor for “American” in every possible sense of the word.
I can clearly remember my USAF father, a bird colonel, telling me one time: “The F4 Phantom is proof that if you put a big enough engine on it, you can make a brick fly.” BZ
That’s pretty cool, right there.

I love it. I want one.
If an F-4 can fly, a lawn mower should be easy to make fly.

I guess that would work for really tall Johnson grass. Or trimming the tops from trees.

AOA- I was told. Boeing, but he could have been and old MD engineer that moved over 🙂
I’m sorry, but I don’t get it. And I’m not ashamed to admit I don’t get much.
Love,

Never give a TACCO the remote control!

Imagine what he could do with a snow blower!

Man, I love that!
Boeing? Are you sure? It would seem to have been built by Lawrence Hovermower Laboratories.
