It's been a while since I've written a blog post...things have been busy. You know how that gets to be, right? Anyway, things at work are such that I don't usually have a camera with me, although I think I should change that. We have just been working as normal on aircraft, with the exception of this week. We sold our Embraer 110 for scrap. This airplane has been sitting at the airport for probably close to 10 years. It came for the purpose of us taking the engines and avionics and putting them onto a Twin Otter. Other than that, it's just been sitting there, and we've taken some parts here and there to use on other airplanes. Well, the time came for it to be dragged out from the woods and chopped up so that the truck/crane could come and get it. We all got our turn with the chop saw, as you can see below. It was raining that day, so that's why I have a rain coat on. We cut off the wings and the tail. It was sort of sad, you know, knowing that this is the last time this airframe serial number will be in one piece.
