Wonder what type of firewood stove that stuff would go I ?

Never saw one used to saw aluminum fuselage in two like that. Usually used on wood.

Ok Ill bite. Is this a real photo? What is happening here? Dave

Ahhhh, the famous "[i:e6000b21ff]Saw the airplane in half[/i:e6000b21ff]" trick, eh?

The Spruce goose?

Might be a joke pic from out on the west coast, Boeing maybe, where they had saws like that and an airplane was being put together.

By the time they finished color film had been invented.

White shirts and ties?? Had to be an engineer's gag.

Some pretty course saw teeth for cutting thin aluminum. I'd say it was a gag too.

I'd rather be the guy on the platform rather than the guy on the Bosun's chair. I really wouldn't like to carry that saw around, much less try to use it.

p.s. My guess someone decided the plane wasn't long enough. Ha! Ha! So they are going to take a chunk out of another plane and rivet it in.
No wonder those things slither like a snake if the air is turbulent!

Must be a magic trick, do you think there's a elephant inside?

appears to be a real photo

the caption reads,

The Lockheed Model 185 design called for the Electras fuselage to be shortened by seven feet for the US Navys new maritime patrol aircraft. Here, the modification of the aerodynamic prototype into the YP3V-1 begins with a touch of humor.

My thoughts too,

Anyone else remember the old Lennox sawsall blade advertisements? How long will it take Hackman to saw this plane in half?
