Mr. Silly Posted March 14 Share #2 Posted March 14 I knew a crane was needed to make an airplane in the air. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsharr ★ Posted March 14 Share #3 Posted March 14 It is a plane. Why not save the cost of the cranes and just fly it over to the plane wash and back? I wonder how many quarters it takes to get a Concord clean? At least two rolls I would assume. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maddmaxx ★ Posted March 14 Author Share #4 Posted March 14 Not a wash. The paint was stripped off and the plane was repainted. The Intrepid museum is an air craft carrier tied up to a pier for good and nothing lands or takes off from it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We happened upon the shuttle at the same time as one of the docents - who was an engineer on the shuttle. Cool discussion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cool discussion In its defense, it IS the Smithsonian National Air & Space Museum, just the Udvar Hazy facility. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
