I swear to you that a Dash 8 taxied past me today with both of its wing mounted engines turning and sticking out the front of its nose was another propulsion device on the end of a pole. Was a square looking white thing on its own four wheels and a third pilot was seated in it and appearred to be operating it. I assume he was co-ordinating with the tech crew in the aeroplane.
Unfortunately I didn't see it take off!
Don't know if it just sling-shots the Dash 8 off the runway like a Cat launch on an aircraft carrier, or if it somehow folds up into the belly of the Dash 8.
Strangest thing!
