I hope she has an easy crossing. I was looking at the nose and tail feathers clearance maybe 18" to 24" at the most. Those nylon tie-downs are tough. They hold my Camaro on a bounching trailer when I go to the dragstrip. Maybe she'll be back. Who knows, with all the financial crap flying around right now maybe someone over here will make a good buy on her later this year or next. Keep the faith.

In a perfect world, it would have been neat to see this one and GG fly together over Greenland again and on to UK. But I understand completely why they've chosen to go with the safer plan. Cant wait to see photos of her back in the air!
