The last leg of a recent journey was indeed a challenging one/ First, a crane hoisted the 13,000-pound aircraft over two 10-foot-high fences at Dover Air Force Base.
But navigating the intersection of Starlifter Avenue and Horsepond Road was no easy feat, considering nearby signage making it a tight fit. Eventually, the aircraft with a 35 1/2-foot wingspan had just a few inches or less space to squeeze through, according to those who pushed it.

- My friend, Doug, and I built the small airplane displayed out front of Polytech for years. We had two bird strike-damaged Piper airplanes, and we pieced together one airframe, and masonry built the pedestal it was mounted on. I believe auto body painted it school colors. — James Torbert
- There’s irony in this post. Gov. John Carney wants to ban gas- and diesel-powered vehicles in Delaware, yet, on the other hand, he supports setting up a jet airplane training course in the state, even though it’s been proven that private jets have a greater effect on our environment. When are the lies our elected officials are trying to make us swallow going to stop? This is hypocritical. — Jesse Garcia
- Bringing back memories of Atlantic Aviation. — Betty Baker
