The specially constructed track at the Sands Hotel, that was used to launch the C-123, mounted on an old bus chassis, into the front of the hotel.


C-123 Provider N94DT, wings and horizontal stabilizer clipped, main gear doors removed, but with the vertical stabilizer still complete, being prepared to be lifted onto the track that will launch it into the hotel.


The final result, showing N94DT with its nose in the hotel lobby, and the vertical stabilizer broken off. Also note the large gap in the fuselage just aft of the cockpit. This was not the result of the crash, but it was made intentionally, to mimick the damage done by the runaway #1 propeller.
