OK. Then the wings are airborne again, for one last time. Well, airborne is a little bit exaggerated, they are just beeing hoisted from the flatbed truck to the ground, and then they are rolled into the museum floor, to await final mounting on the fuselage. (click on images for large wiew).
The next job is finishing markings etc on the fuselage, something that requires somewhat milder weather than we are having these days. May 3rd and 5-6 degrees C is not normal, not even in north Norway! We ned 15 degrees to put on the paint, since the fuselage will be wheeled outdoors for the actual spraying.
Finally, after that, it will be moving and relocating some of the stuff in the exhibition, then positioning the fuselage, elevating it and mounting the wing below the fuselage, then hoisting it some more and mounting the undercarriage. And then, maybe then, there will be time for speeches and canapees and sparkling wine in tall glasses. We will see...
