Hello all, here is a little teaser for the Heritage Flight Museum's F-89 Scorpion recovery trip documentary I am working on.

A very well put together video! Where was the F-89 located when it was being taken apart?

She was in Helena, Montana being used in an A&P program and we took her apart and brought her back to Bellingham in October.

Nice video! What was the deal with the guy going mental on the truck though? That was some serious damage!

Cheers,
Richard

That's what a stuck bolt will do to you… I guess he thought that it was better to take it out on his truck rather than the airplane!

Of course, it could be that some parts of the video were done "tongue in cheek" :o

Or it could be just another WIX member's reaction upon hearing about the CAF having to give the Twin Mustang back... :twisted:

Don't know what he was upset about; he didn't get involved in the hydraulics :x

We have all had bolts, nuts and clamps like that. I find that swearing, grunting and face pulling helps! Oh and don't forget a BIGGER HAMMER!!!!
Good luck with the Scorpion they are getting a little rare these days
