MikeRL411 Posted July 15, 2015 Report Share Posted July 15, 2015 The IL is an air TANK if there ever was one. The Russians did indeed have 2 Flying Tanks! The first was an American built Christy all aluminum tank with a power takeoff rear facing prop and wings. The US Army was not interested so Christy sold it to the Russians. No record of what if anything they did with it. The second was the KT-1[ Kryatilly Tank one]. It was a T20 tank fitted with wooden biplane superstructure and towed behind a 4 engine bomber. It made one flight, the bomber overheated and had to drop the tank early. The tank crew reved the engine and put the treads into action just before touchdown. The tank and the crew all survived. There was no second flight! 1 Quote Link to comment

bananahamuck Posted July 17, 2015 Report Share Posted July 17, 2015 Too bad some assholes moved in and then decided the noise was too loud. They are currently suing to stop the touch and goes, morons. I saw that on the news last night,,,,,, that steams my ass that people would do that,, or could do that. It's exactly like the ones who move in by a dragstrip then spend all their spare time trying to close it because of the noise. 3 Quote Link to comment
