Okay, I can take a hint....

Post your airborn car pics here. I'll get us started. Of course, preference is for 993s....

Redundant from the other post. Worthy of this thread me thinks. Can anyone beat this take off?

This is not as easy as it looks

993RS

Alan,
Your picture is not that crazy... a couple of years back, exactly that happened at Le Mans when, I believe, a German GT1 car became airborne because of faulty aerodynamics...

Phil,
That is a depiction of that event. I have the video stashed somewhere on my hard drive.

Graham, maybe hard but sure looks fun.

Hey, illustrations are cheating! If that's how you want to play, beat this flying 'Moby'!

...back on topic with a gorgeous 908

Flying Finn

OK, here's the one shot that started all this...
"Flying Finn", double F1 Champ Mika Hakkinen with his McLaren...

Mark in Baltimore

I love this thread!

Okay, it's not a Porsche nor is it a 993, but this has to be one of the greatest ever airborne car shot. I believe it's Hans Stuck at the Nurburgring, Pflanzgarten maybe?

I've had this poster since 1980 and it still graces my garage wall.

911

Adrienne,

How strange. A few minutes ago I was just looking at Steve's Rennsport website and I saw that picture for the very first time (the black 993 up on its left two wheels). Now, I see it here! Anyway, cool pics.

911

Hey Flying Finn -

I've seen that picture of Mika quite a few times, but I was wondering if that was the accident that nearly killed him @ Adelaide?

A flying 911 I found on my hard drive:

Actually that painting depicts a GT-1 at Road Atlanta on the back straight in the late nineties.

The car that got airborne at Le Mans was a factory Mercedes. I think they pulled the other two entriesafter the first full gainer. MB has had a frightening time Le Mans, despite their wins there.
