  • Wright Brothers National Memorial

  • The driver had nerves of steel

  • On the roof for a great vantage point.

  • A different "runway" for this move

  • Preparing to unload

  • Looks can be deceiving

  • Pieces

  • Pieces

  • Finally we get a glimpse of the Flyer

  • None of us were breathing...

  • One foot at a time...

  • As nervous as moving a lighthouse...

  • So, how do you get an airplane in the building...

  • Take out a wall/window

  • Working with the cool machines...
