We assembled this morning at 9 or thereabout to put the other wing on the AN-2. Yesterday's experience with the right wing made today's task go quite quickly. Now you have to understand that a big undertaking like this attracted all the usual K&W riff raff, camp followers and ne'er do wells who habituate the airport. As a matter of fact crowd control was more of a problem than assembling the stupid airplane. There was no shortage of supervisors and photographers. I got one up on the other photographers by the simple expedient of hopping in the Cessna and getting this aerial shot. Thanks to David Tanner for flying the airplane while I took photos. You will notice that the wing span is larger than the hangar door. Unfortunately, the AN-2 will have to live outside. Reggie's dog gets better treatment. Here are some more pictures from the event: http://www.pbase.com/johncrossphotography/an_2_wings
