Interesting story and photos about moving Dreadnought on a trailer from the Air Races back to it's home in Ione, CA. http://www.sandersaircraft.com/aircr...ought-move.asp
Hello Ma, Hello Pa? This is you son. I'm traveling down the highway, and I could swear I'm seeing a Sea Fury on the back of a semi truck. It looks like the prop is on the front of a lowboy trailer, and the fuselage is tilted like it's in a bank and the wings are off lying on the tail end of the trailer. Yeah I'm tired but no I haven't been drinking and I'm not hallucinating.
When viewing the photos of the move, is there a way to see the photos without having to click each individual photo and then close it? Is there a way to click on an advance arrow instead?
Is there another way to transport broken airplanes via air, like the way the Space Shuttle sits on top of a 747, or inside the Super Guppy Airplane or do you either fly it or truck it? I guess the Super Guppy would be too expensive? Speaking of the Super Guppy, look at the photos of it in this link, bizarre airplane: http://www.warbirdinformationexchang...39eb11c81da7fa Is the upper portion polished or painted silver? It looks like polished aluminum. Can you imagine the time it takes to keep that area clean and bright?
Suppose you could attach the broken plane to the top of the tow plane, how big of a plane would you need to carry Strega or Dreadnought back home? Could a Twin Otter or a C130 carry Strega on top like the Space Shuttle and it's tow 747? Or if you blew the motor, could you tow it behind a tow plane like the way a tow plane tows a glider to altitude?
Smaller sailboats and powerboats are frequently moved across oceans on larger ships that partially sink, then they float the sailboat/powerboat onboard, secure it, then raise the larger ship and power away. Like this: http://www.yacht-transport.com/homepage.html
