New hovercraft ideal for ice rescues and trips into Mos Eisley

March 26th, 2008  |  by Andy  Published in Outdoor Living  |  1 Comment

Ice hovercraft- credit: Gonzalez
A record-setting $34,000 grant has funded the purchase of one sweet-looking hovercraft for the Excelsior Fire Department. The vehicle provides a far safer means to rescuing dumb-as-an-ox snowmobilers and drunken ice fishermen, than the common belly crawl. It’s also a handy ride when you need to go shopping for R-2 units or head into Toshi Station to pick up some power converters. If my wife is reading this, take note that my birthday is just five short months away, and I’d like mine in black.

    These aren’t the droids you’re looking for. You don’t need to see any identification.
