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

That is one big job! Thanks for the link :drink3:

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 · **Posted:** Sat Jun 02, 2018 8:04 am

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

"I have a pair of jeans at home with a cockpit bigger than a B-52's."-unforgettable quote from a KC-135 boomer I knew.
