Surely as the snow melts it will gradually right itself I dont get the need for a crane. It looks pretty good like that they could just leave it.

We had a Group Captain in Germany who went for a flight in a Canberra PR7. The PR7 had a different fuel system to the B2 Canberra and he misunderstood it even after it was explained to him He used the fuel out of the front tanks and after he landed and taxied back in, when he got out of the front of the aircraft it slowly tipped up on its tail. Highly embarrassing since if they took the fuel cap off to drain it, the fuel would have come out in a 20 foot high fountain! Cost him a round of drinks, but he could afford it anyway!
