No...the wing is off. But we did see two helicopters today. Thought they were delivering our tunneling gear at first. The live band at the prison kept us entertained all afternoon....

Now the wings are off. Things were still in place when I posted that.

I guess some people's idea of 'fun' is different than mine. So be it.

This turned into a ridiculous 'let's see how much of Thom's money we can spend' thread in a real hurry.

Hey, maybe we can find a wizard with a wand that will magically transport PM back to Kissimmee with rainbows and unicorns too. That's going to be as helpful an option as some of the others on here.

Maybe the Wizard could give the Scarecrow a brain.

PM may be on the truck now, but I suspect the Giant Roto Chopper Thom hired with SkyVanDelta's help is now going to pick-up and airlift the truck and PM to Florida.

Good job guys. She'll be happy to be in her hanger.

Thanks for keeping the AAFO community informed.

You guys rock.

We had a freeway PM sighting! One of our team members who was unable to take part in the recovery got a shaky cell photo video of her rolling through Clermont, Florida about an hour ago. That's about 35 miles or so from Kissimmee and she should be there any minute....!

We have a very good idea how it transpired. Before we release the information, we just want to verify a few things. Give us a week or two.

That is great to hear they may have found the source of the fire. Knowing the how and possibly the why behind it means they can address the issue so that it likely won't happen again.

Great video! I really hope you guys are able to get P.M. back to Reno, no matter how long it takes. Looks to me like that crew might have done that before.

Big guy in the dark blue is a machine!

The rest really got down to business as well.
