Neighbors help Gretchen load up the Velocity Project

Our friend/neighbor Gretchen is sadly selling Steve's "stuff" that she can no longer use. One of the hardest things to go, I'm sure, is his airplane project. Look here for a short post I did last year (about a month before his untimely passing) Steve's Airplane Project .

A gentleman from Kansas City purchased the "kit" - and he arranged to pick it up from Gretchen's hangar this weekend. He hired a company from that specializes in moving these kits. Apparently, alot of folks start these projects and don't finish them. So, they get sold in their partially done, LARGE, form.

The trick, however, was to get the fuselage down from the air-conditioned mezzanine that Steve was building it on.

Of course, all the neighbors pitched in - no sweat with that many hands! I'm sure they would have been there for Steve also, but it's nice to know that Gretchen can still count on everyone to be there for her.


Here's the fuselage being readied for the long transport....the wings and other items will be tied on also.....would be interesting to see all the "rubber-neckers" on the interstates between here and there!!
