Reynard Posted July 10, 2023 Share Posted July 10, 2023 Note: no injuries sustained (at least in the plane)... I presume the big black boxes on the trailer are counterweights (?) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocketraider Posted July 10, 2023 Share Posted July 10, 2023 If they are, they're obviously not heavy enough!😁 but looks like the hitch ball is surviving ok! Guessing the engine on the aircraft is a Rolls Merlin which Wikipedia says weighs 1640 lb dry. Wonder what the airframe weighs? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farmallregular Posted July 18, 2023 Share Posted July 18, 2023 That's a P-51 Mustang (air scoop under the wing is a giveaway), per Wikipedia the empty aircraft weighs 7,635 lbs, with a max takeoff weight of 12,100 lbs. Actual weight here would be somewhere between those two numbers depending on equipment and if there's any fuel left in the tanks. I can't believe anyone would try to move a valuable aircraft like that... Keith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TAKerry Posted July 19, 2023 Share Posted July 19, 2023 Really not that heavy, and the trailer and truck should be able to handle it no problem. Just need to get loaded on the trailer properly. You would think someone smart enough to fly one of those, be able to afford one of those etc. would know how to load or tow it!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
28 Chrysler Posted July 21, 2023 Share Posted July 21, 2023 They should have put the tailgate down and put the nose it in the back of the truck. If you are going to make a mess make a big one. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
