fish Fatbus

Given recent media attention between Sir Tee and Airbus, I thought a post on "uses" for the Fatbus after its scrapped,


Might be amusing...let me begin


1) Dump them in the sea to help promote a reef and coral life.
2) Instant hotels left in strategic places around town.
3)

By the time they retire ops will have moved to OMDW
I suggest we use them to shuttle the pilots and crew from OMDB
We can even remove all the seats and do it C130 style

Give them to locals to charge up and down SZR in.

The perfect vehicle if a Land Cruiser isn't quite big enough for you.

The rate at which faults are appearing in the overweight mwnters (yes, Welsh, for fugly) - wing rib cracks, pax door mods, cruciform, etc etc, and never minding the pylon and l/gear sampling, those muthas will struggle to survive a 12 year term. Never mind any practical use beyond that. Although, they would make a roomy restaurant, if you dump the monuments. Might want to keep the showers though....
