That happens every year to a couple of derelict GA planes on our ramp, but I've never seen it on something so big.

A couple more pictures here.

It looks good, maybe they should just lower it a little to a more realistic take off angle and then leave it (also prevent people from climbing up the back of the wings)

The fork truck putting the RR "sleepers" (we call them ties) in place provides some scale. Thats a big bird to get tipped.

I believe that was suggested but apparently most of their funds come from letting people go into the cockpit etc....you couldn't do that if it was left rotating....
