Runway incursion by a TANK !

[Bobby 0]

I made a greaser landing at PHOG and switch to external view just in time to see a tank cross the runway in front of me. I swear folks, no photoshop...I have no idea where that came from

 

 

 

I used paint to blow up this picture....looks like a tank to me.

 

 

 

I asked my buddy who works the ramp.....says it might be a fire truck. LOL

 

ok...time to wrap up hauling and head for the bar

I think it's a tug, an airport vehicle. That's probably a tow bar sticking out to the left of the picture.

Looks like an All Terrain Forklift Truck!

Good points John and Glen,

 

It is a testament to the immersion that Air Hauler brings to the sim. In the past, a vehicle on the ramp wouldn't mean much to me. Now, I'm trying to make great landings with sometimes very heavy loads and keeping a schedule in mind so much so that the sight of a verhicle on the runways actually startled me.

 

This is so much fun

Definitely an AT forklift.  The little buggers are everywhere and none of them ever seem to obey airport ground vehicle restrictions - bloody "rampies" - just like the real world.

Glad you figured it out Andrew, I thought Alan's wife was cleaning house.

If that was a canon, all you could shoot would be vermin, considering where it's pointed at. I agree, it looks like tug driver with severe spatial awareness issues.

_{If he were qualified for a high-paying job at Kennedy Space Center, he wouldn't be driving a lift truck at PHOG.}
