Carrier birds would be perfect for that.
That Jug's wings sure looked close the roofs of some of those cars!
Love the water-cooled fifties! :drink3:

In the Sept. 2015 copy of P.C.A.M, pacific coast air museum, monthly newsletter they have at bottom of page a picture of a sea fury they towed down to Santa Rosa CA. rose parade. The sea fury was baby gorilla of Lloyd Hamilton. Well they ended up breaking the tow bar and had to clear the road, so they fired it up and taxied to a bus stop until a replacement tow bar could be retrieved. link is here:;
Not sure wat year it happened in? sorry.
