[vintage-and-warbirds] Horten Flying Wing Heading to NASM's Udvar-Hazy Center

From : Steve Link 


The NASM's Horten H IX V.3 Flying Wing is being prepared for shipment to the Mary Baker Engen Restoration Center this month. Here we see shop Foreman Rob Mawhinney gently guiding forklift operators Amelia Kile, Carl Schuettler, Anthony Wallace, and Carl Bobrow as they carefully lower the unique prototype onto its purpose-built cradle. The artifact is incredibly fragile, and it was vital to get it perfectly balanced on the frame. (photo by Lauren Horelick via NASM)
