airport crash tenders are probably the coolest vehicles about, I've spent all of my adult years on airfields maintaining light aircraft and am now based on a tiny grass strip in England's east midlands. our current response vehicle is a landrover deffender V8 with super wide flotation tyres to get over the ploughed fields pilots like to land in (video is a few years old) https://www.facebook.com/matthew.mit...type=2&theater and here are a couple of shots of the Rangerover my boss purchased as a project, 6x4, GRP body over an ally tank and spectacularly leaky pump set up looks like something out of thunderbirds we pulled it out of the field where it had been sat for 10 years, stuck some fuel and a battery in it and drove it 100 miles back home hitting the sirens every time we passed a pedestrian. I love my job.

I like how the driver slew the rear over to block that car form encroaching on his right while making the exit.
Sometimes a feature like that would be handy on semi tractor trailer rigs since the average car driver doesn't realize that when a truck swings to the left to make a right turn he is doing so to allow for the length of the rig to be able to negotiate a turn, and not a signal for the car to go around on the right.

The driver doesn't control the tender, there's a tiller man sitting in a cab over the rear axle. They are in constant communication
