No, it's the AT Black Knight Transformer, a 4-wheeled truck with eight rotors on outriggers.
That's one odd critter.

It kind of reminds me of the "flying tank" experiments the Soviets tried to play with, though it seems with this project they might actually succeed."The use of force is always an answer to problems. Whether or not it's a satisfactory answer depends on a number of things, not least the personality of the person making the determination. Force isn't an attractive answer, though. I would not be true to myself or to the people I served with in 1970 if I did not make that realization clear."

Never heard of "The Highwayman" until today and so did a little look on the net.
Some of you might be interested to learn that the truck with the Gazelle helo front survived and is operated by a tattoo parlour... well, it IS the tattoo parlour
And they have photos,

Do any of our Aussie friends know Mark "Jacko" Jackson He started getting his fame here in the U.S. doing Energizer battery commercials and then became a regular on this show too. It's because of him a lot of Americans think most Australians like to say "Oy!"Originally posted by StainlessSteelCynic View PostNever heard of "The Highwayman" until today and so did a little look on the net.

Yeah, Jacko was an Aussie Rules football player who broke into acting. He was a rough-head but not too obnoxious, more a larrikin than a troublemaker.
What might be of interest to some here is that although born in Victoria, he started playing football for South Fremantle (a suburb of the Perth satellite city of Fremantle). He was a good footie player and used his fame to get into acting and singing.
Yes, singing. So to experience the full "Jacko" experience, you have to watch the following: -

The 80s was the time of my late teens/early 20s so I remember the decade with some fondness but there are a few things from that time that now make me cringe or laugh - the video for that song is one of the few that does both!Originally posted by Schone23666 View PostI might need brain bleach after that...well, that plus wipe down my pc screen after almost spewing my drink all over it, due to howling from laughter.Comment

The 80's was interesting -- I graduated from high school in 1980, college in 86, and by 89 I had been in the Army for a couple of years. Lot of living in a short time.I'm guided by the beauty of our weapons...First We Take Manhattan, Jennifer Warnes
