Plane parts fill the floor during inspection season

Published 9:30 am Thursday, November 5, 2015

During inspection season, the floor of the Flying Heritage Collection looks like a model builder’s table. Parts and pieces of aircraft lie on moving blankets under the wings of the planes. These (armored) panels belong to the Il-2 Shturmovik. Note the baggies, filled with fasteners, attached to each of the pieces. Soon enough it will be time to put the plane back together.
