This is the Boeing B-29 Superfortress. It has four big engines and could carry lots of bombs. It was used in World War II and the Korean War by the US Air Force. Big big big!

Big Air Force Monster Truck

noreply@blogger.com (Kurt Clark) — Sat, 25 Sep 2010 13:35:00 +0000

It's a Cadillac Escalade and it's made to look like an A-10 Warthog. That's a warthog behind the monster truck.

They are both awesome!

Big Ford Excursion in Iceland

noreply@blogger.com (Kurt Clark) — Tue, 31 Aug 2010 16:29:00 +0000

Ford Excursion, originally uploaded by Jarod Carruthers.

When you get bored with having one of the largest SUVs in the world, what should you do?

Make it bigger!

This Ford Excursion is in Iceland, a place with 4x4s are used for what they're made for. The wheel wells have been trimmed at the fenders so larger balloon tires can be used. The entire rig is raised at least eight inches. It's pretty clear from this picture that Icelanders have a different take on four wheel drive. In this frozen land where gasoline hovers around $5-6 per gallon, their 4x4s are bigger, often diesel, and set up to drive on glacial ice.

Innovative and cool!

Pickup trucks don't get much bigger, or badder, than a four wheel drive dual cab monster like this one!

I love big old 4x4 trucks! This one was on the freeway today. It's a Land Rover with huge tires.

Awesome!

Kodiak Snow Blower, originally uploaded by WSDOT.

Check out the size of this snow blower! It is used to clear snow from Washington Highway 20, which travels over tall mountains. The road gets blocked by snow every year the state must use big equipment like the Kodiak snow blower to get rid of all the white stuff.

A big job for a big big rig!

Now that's a big rig! This machine helps set up cranes and big equipment. It needs that yellow sign at the front to alert drivers that it is a bigger-that-normal truck.

Wow!

This is the biggest tree in our neighborhood, and it was alive before any of the houses were built. It is so big that I had to take eight pictures just to get the whole thing.

Wow!

This big machine strips the pavement off a road...with water! I've never seen anything like this before; have you?

This will help road crews lay down new pavement on a road, by removing most of the old pavement first. It will help the new pavement last longer, and that will save them lots of money.

Awesome!

Wow! Look at the size of that ship! You can tell just how big it is by the size of the little boat in front. This shipping vessel carries lots of containers on board, and each container is the size of a truck. In those containers, you will find things like toys, computers, cars, clothing, and even trucks!

Big Navy Fighter Jet

This fighter jet is nicknamed the "Goose Hawk," and helps men and women train to be Aviators. Aviator is what a pilot is called in the U.S. Navy. This jet can make landings on aircraft carriers like this one, miles and miles from any land. I like the red nose on this aircraft.

Big Helicopter and Big Humvee

Humvees are big 4x4 trucks used by the military. You might know them as Hummers, which you can sometimes see driving around your city. This one is being picked up from the desert in California by a Big Helicopter; it makes that Humvee look like a little Hot Wheels car!

The helicopter is called a Super Stallion, and it is the biggest helicopter in the Marine Corps.
