Gotta see it to believe it...

So the DC-3 is in for some major maintenance. It's getting main gear replaced and new flaps. The problem was that it needs to be in the hangar to have that sort of work done. So they plan to put it in the hangar. They took off the wingtips (which are like 5 feet long) and maneuvered the thing into the hangar. It's amazing. Here's the pictures.


Starting towards the hangar...doesn't that door look a little small?


Oops, that's a little close, isn't it? This picture was taken to the background music of Ryan Williams yelling, "Push harder, it'll fit!!"


This was a neat picture. My camera LCD screen is broken, so I can't see the pictures that I'm taking; just have to guess and shoot. Anyway, somehow it got switched over to the panoramic view without me knowing it, so this is the result.


Hmmm, what now?


This is the view from the corner offices. Looks a little big, huh?


This is where I left it last night.


And this is where it is today. Wow. They actually did it. First time it's been in the hangar without the wings being taken off.


Gotta see it to believe it...
