In March 2007 the aircraft were relocated to the terminal ramp. Here are a few pictuers of the process of moving one of the aircraft, the A-7.Click on a small picture to see a larger version
The first step was to air up the tires. Here Kregg shows us how it's done.
The tractor is strong enough to pull the airplane, and the minivan acts as an escort across the runways.
The last three pictures were courtesy of Bradley Scronce, Hickory Firefighter.
