156 viewsAirline: American AirlinesType: MD80Registration: N234AAAirport: MIACity: MiamiState: FloridaCountry: USADate Taken: May 2010This was probably the most challenging part of the MD80 move. The right main gear had to ride on the center median in order for the already shortened wings to clear both sides of the street. At this point, the MD80 would be tugged to the left to it's final resting place
