WATCH: Plane Records Stolen Sinclair Dino Carried Home

You might recall the story of the Sinclair gas station green dinosaur that was stolen from in front of the shop in Alcova, Wyoming. That dino was never returned.

Recently, there was the story of just such a dino that was taken from a Sinclair station in Montana, and later found bolted to the top of a rock outcrop overlooking the Yellowstone River, near Yellowstone National Park, in Montana.

If you like those stories, then you'll love this one.

An aerial fire spotting group took their plane up just to watch a group of rescuers carry that Montana dino back down to where it belongs.

Watch the video below as they carry the big green monster on their shoulders down a mountain trail. The video was recorded by Bridger Aerospace. 

The airplane is a Pilatus PC-12 is a popular Swiss-built, single-engine turboprop known for its 290 KTAS cruise speed, 1,765 nm range, and short/unpaved runway capability. Manufactured by Pilatus Aircraft since 1991, it is widely used for corporate transport, air ambulance, and cargo missions. This plane is owned by a company that has special cameras that help it see hotspots that could become fires, both day and night.

FUN FACTS ABOUT THE SINCLARE DINO!

For the record, even though the Sinclair stations have a dino out front, petroleum does not come from dinosaurs. It is a myth. Petroleum actually forms from tiny marine organisms like plankton, algae, and bacteria that lived in ancient seas.

As for the green Dino (pronounced "Dye-no") that Sinclair uses, it is the product of a long-ago advertisement campaign. Dino was introduced by Sinclair Oil in 1930 to promote motor oils and lubricants. Marketers chose a sauropod, which they figured would symbolize the ancient, prehistoric origins of fossil fuels. But we know today that there is actually no such thing as a "fossil fuel." It would be better to call them organic fuels since we cannot get energy from fossils.
