And we just have to mention the spectacular view from California's coastal Highway 1, south of Santa Cruz (just been there this summer...) Photo by Dhiman Kheerak:

The plane, i believe its a training plane for something like a terrorist attack or even just emergency. So the military and emergency services can practice their responce.
There is one of these at an air force base in my part of the world.
Looks like some sort of emergency and anti terrorist training, cut off wings and only two engines are probably to make it easier to store. Might also be the reason why they took the tail or perhaps it was used on another airplane?
Counter terrorism training mix between 747 and DC9. Linky: http://bbs.keyhole.com/ubb/showflat.php?Cat=0&Board=modEarthMilitary&Number=40933&page=34&fpart=6

These are some great pictures, but that snake with the bird in its mouth is really cool.

I think the plane was made for a movie....
and by "vintage" voting machines, you mean the type we STILL use in NYC.
That strange plane... it says "EMU Airlines". I found an "EMU Airways" on Google, but said nothing about antiterrorist tours.
Aircraft looks to be a 747 SP with its wings clipped.

Maybe it's the plane from the last James Bond "Casino Royale" - it looked something like this.
It's a model!
The donkey photo has to be photoshopped, either that or its got broken knees.
This Airplane was given to the Australian governemt so they could train Hostage Rescue CQC.

Anonymous, I think you missed the point of the donkey. He is holding a cell phone. :-) Of course it is photoshopped.
Yeah New York State still uses those decidedly low-tech voting machines -- I feel better with them than with any computer you can hack in 10 minutes!
