Status: Destroyed

NAS M.A.N.T.I.S.


During the MRC on the eve of Hurricane Irene, Stogie says to
Nosepicker:


"Hey - let's make a chopper right now and ride it tonight!"


Nosepicker says:


"OK."


15 minutes later, after a quick rummage through the parts bins and
derelict piles, Mantis is sort of together & kinda ready to ride...
Stogie & Nosepicker, tossing parts to the build-area, everything
near-
finger-tight and no welds, no brakes, no nuthin' but style and
fun...


Christened by the rain of Hurricane Irene, Nosepicker had it on the
road for the mission within half an hour from the concept.


also, the thing looks like a praying-mantis, and i like that cheezy
sci-fi show with Carl Lumbly:






PS:


now have fun making up your own name with the acronym...

hover your input device over some of the photos for examples...
