Flying Bum: The Name Says it All

It's a bird, it's a plane, it's a Flying Bum! Okay, it's a crashing Bum in what was only the second maiden flight of this canceled US DOD airship later revived by Hybrid Air Vehicles and a grant from the United Kingdom.

Officially called the Airland 10, the part-dirigible hit a telegraph pole in England earlier today and crash landed. Even the Wright Brothers had a rocky start, but this aircraft is not so new. 

While America aims for Mars, Great Britain aims for a level (pole-free) cow pasture.
