The World Aerospace Museum Inc [wami] locates aircraft from former soviet block countries and brings them to the United States. The aircraft and parts arrive at the hanger in shipping containers transported across the ocean by ship and then put on a truck for delivery. The wings come off. The Tail sections are removed. Each piece arrives either bolted to skids, or on specially built transport supports that we or the shipper assemble. Some aircraft are transported on cargo planes.
“We’re delighted to be the first UK airline taking delivery of the A380. It is a great aircraft that has been developed with huge amounts of British engineering ingenuity and we believe it will prove very popular with our customers when it starts flying to its first destination of Los Angeles.”
