Why we love it?

Turn the lights off and watch it light up the room! Bowing 747 Plane Bump and Go goes without stopping, if it bumps into anything it will simply back out and continue it’s journey
Some comments about this we saw on the web:

Bueller?

——* /u/markday on /r/BurningMan I brought my own 747.
Despite some good intentions on my part, it got stuck in one of the black plastic boxes in my tent, and I was either unable or unwilling to move it anywhere on playa, until eventually the box went back in my car.
It’s now sitting in the same box in my garage.
Maybe I’ll take it again next year.

——* /u/markday on /r/BurningMan I am very open to the possibility of getting there and being really into it. However, if your basic, and rather broad, premise is that you’re doing it to demonstrate that anything is possible, you have to accept that some of the “possible” things that fit into the category of “anything” includes “healthy debate” amongst event attendees as to “what’s the fucking point?” As things stand, “some guy brought a 747” is probably going to be the one thing anyone who knows next to nothing about Burning Man knows about Burning Man 2016 (until and unless this year’s crop of celeb sitings includes some Kanye level star power). Those “the one thing my clueless friend knows about BM” things tend to rub people up the wrong way. Oh well…
At the moment, it has rather sucked all the air out of the room and I look forward to people allowing a little air back in by, say, bringing their own 747s. As I am. $13 on Amazon.
Again, totally open to having an “ah, OK, now I get it” moment on playa. And there’s plenty of Burning Man “art” that only barely works on the level of “art” because “some sort of object sitting on/emerging from a beautiful desert canvas”.
But to be fair, the people behind it have run the entire thing on some level as a PR exercise, I’ve seen a few comments already that it’s “a bit weird” that they have their website URL plastered along the side of it (are they painting that out before gate? I wonder….).
I would also mention in passing that one could as easily get the message that “anything is possible” from even a cursory viewing of the movie Kung Fu Panda, Mulan or, well, most kid movies. Maybe that’s a parent thing.
I’m off to have fun with my 747….
