Mosquito back on its feet.

April 23rd, 2009

In order to move the Mosquito by truck, the fuselage needed to be removed from the wing section.  Today the engineers at Victoria Air Maintenance put the wing section up on jacks and then lifted the fuselage back up onto the wing.  Click here to view pictures of the reassembly.
