Aluminum Overcast update from EAA

[L-188]

Thanks for all the posts regarding the Aluminum overcast's move. I guess i jumped the gun a bit with my comments. While I have almost 40 years of gear jamming, almost none of it being flatbed. Very interesting responses regarding possibly getting rigged so as to avoid permitting . Hopefully, the move will be documented so we can see the progress.

Hopefully they won't incur many bullet holes along the way. Large shiny objects on road transport seem to attract them.

John: It took two years to get permission and almost another two years to get thru all the weight and balance planning to move the B-58 from DM to Fort Worth.

How long ago was that? Was it the B-58 that was in the park adjacent to Carswell in the late 80's?

It was before I was part of the museum, so late 70's to early 80's when the move was made. I became a part of the staff in 1987 or so, before I went salary with GD.
