Y'all got any transient tiedown space available ... ? :skeptical:

Oh, and can you have your mechanic check the #3 spark plug on the rear right inboard engine on the top of the wing? Thanks! :)

I would think that firing those guns in flight would stop you dead in mid air...similar thing happened in the days of WWI fighters, albeit on a smaller scale.
 
Land, yes. Take off, no. It would help with the tree trimming as well.

All three are faked. The original that did exist wasn't nearly that big and had only (!) seven engines. See the pictures in the two linked articles.
