Just cuurious,when it is reassembled do they just assemble the major sections or is every hooked up again?

[Pat Carry]

That is one big job! Thanks for the link

What a huge job.
Seems to be expertly executed as well. Kudos.

In response to Lucky52, you can see wire bundles and conduits that have been cut through.
My guess is that the major structure will be reassembled.
Electrical bundles and hydraulic lines, not so much.
I'm sure that she will make a magnificent static display.

Hats off to all involved. Well done.

How many miles is the B-52 being moved??

[CAPFlyer]

Anywhere from 30 to 40 miles depending on the routing from Paine Field to Boeing Field.
