No worries though, somehow Homer is able to crash land it with only one wing. Burns allows Homer and Grampa to use it so it can fulfill “its original purpose, to subvert the laws of the United States.” It doesn’t catch fire but does lose a wing to lightning. The Plywood Pelican seems like a one-hit wonder in the episode but appears later when Homer uses it to smuggle perscription drugs into Springfield. Then he discovered rain made it catch fire and he was promptly fired by the Fuhrer. Montgomery Burns once flew it at an altitude of six feet for a distance of four and a half feet.
