This airplane crashed in the Mountains of eastern Oregon . The plane was recovered in the late 1980's and a complete restoration was done . This Friday the airplane will fly to Washington for air show. Many airplanes were moved out of the hanger including a 1900's Steam powered tractor.
Following the movement of the Boeing 40 we worked on the last wing of the pusher. This involved cutting and gluing fabric tape to reinforce the areas of the leading and trailing edges.
