The Skytrain

'Bout time I made the legendary Skytrain!

This June 6th marks the 81st anniversary of the Normandy Landings, also known as Operation Overlord, or as most call it, D-Day. In honor of Allied operation and participants who carried it out, I've made this Skytrain commemorating one of the main ways of getting troops to the battlefield during the invasion: paratroops.

AG1 activates the door, and AG2 allows the paratroopers to jump from the Skytrain! AG8 also activates a gyroscope allowing level flight while the troops jump out. That's pretty much all for this build, simple but effective.

Primo Victoria!
