aamove1.jpg
aamove1.jpgA lot of preparation work in addition to lots of volunteer time was put into making the move across the street a reality. American Airlines, Dade County, Odebrecht Construction, T.Y. Lin Engineering all collaborated on a class-A job. The students of George T. Baker Aviation school are the very fortunate recepients of this 6 million dollar MD80 jet that will hopefully inspire students to make aviation a career!May 20, 2010
aamove2.jpg
aamove2.jpgThe American flag is proudly hung as preparations are underway for the move across the street. Note the specially made ramp custom-built for this moveMay 20, 2010
aamove3.jpg
aamove3.jpgFinal preparations are made just shy of 1AM as the move is about to get underwayMay 20, 2010
aamove4.jpg
aamove4.jpgThe initial move from the airport to the intersection at LeJeune Road commences!May 20, 2010
aamove5.jpg
aamove5.jpgThe crane took the MD80 on a left turn from the airport perimeter, over the palm trees as seen here and finally set it down in the middle of the intersectionMay 20, 2010
aamove6.jpg
aamove6.jpgI had the crane operator stop the crane drop at this point in order to get one final shot in the air and it had to be timed just right so the fuselage was under the traffic signal poleMay 20, 2010

aamove11.jpg
aamove11.jpgThis 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 placeMay 20, 2010

IFLCONVAIR_BWCOLOR_MIA0410.jpg
IFLCONVAIR_BWCOLOR_MIA0410.jpgI made a significant change to this photo; I left the airplanes in color but changed everything else in the photo to black and white. I chose to do this because here is a propeller airplane from the 1940's, and behind it is an ultra-modern propeller driven airplane from the 90's, so the contrast in airplanes begs for contrast with the airplanes and their environment in this photo. I know that some of you will really love this! May 19, 2010

Zero G is a neat 727 that takes you up to 32,000 feet and then does dives and climbs which simulates weightlesness. NASA sends their people on flights and I'm told that civilians can also go, the cost is $3,000 per person (not sure how long the flight is) Jan 02, 2010
