The museum's latest acquisition: a Mig 21. It'll keep the Mig 17 company. The truck was already there when I arrived. Sue and John showed up not too much later.
Moving over to the road to get in position.
I skipped lots of shots getting the straps on and cut to hanging on for dear life to keep the plane from swinging in an unfortunate direction.
Once it's over, keep hauling it away from the fence.
John moved it so it could be washed before the news crews got there. The sun was well up. I didn't have much time before I simply had to leave for work. Maybe an ND or polarizer would have helped this, but I was rushing for the last few shots at this point.
The plane was acquired from Merle Mains' collection. He's based in Ontario, Oregon. I can get details of its service and how it ended up in Oregon, if anyone is interested.
