> ENDERSONVILLE, Tenn. – It’s a sight that, at first, makes you wonder if there’s been a tragedy. The flashing lights via remote control don’t help.
> 
> Tony Allers, the artist behind a half police car that appears to crash into his home, isn’t showing any signs of stopping.
> 
> "I mean you’ve got the car through the side of the house and then what do you do next? Well, an airplane has got to crash through the roof,” he said Thursday.
> 
> His family’s home at Ingrid Way and Iris Drive has been turning heads for years. Now a fake plane crash is keeping them turning.
> 
> "Most of the time they’ll just stop by and get out and take pictures. You know it’s kind of like a little tourist thing and we welcome it,” Allers said.
> 
> At first, the squad car scared people enough to panic and call 911. Now emergency responders realize Allers has a new addition.
> 
> "The first night it was up there the fire department came by. They did pull up they just shined a light on it and beeped their horn, waved and drove off so they know it’s us,” he said.
> 
> Allers made the plane’s tail himself complete with a “Flying A” logo to represent their last name and the tail number which is actually their street address.

[Gas station near Fresno, CA, with nose-down airplane on the roof.](http://www.roadsideamerica.com/tip/145) – This has been there for years and years, I don’t even know how long. (One comment kinda-sorta implies it’s been there since sometime in the 1950’s.)

Is it art?

Hell yeah it’s art. And that Allers guy is pretty cool; his art is awesome!
