I just heard yesterday about the 400+ trees they have/or will cut down on the streets that the shuttle will be trailered on to the museum.
I hear that there is a promise to replant 2 to 1 for every one cut down. I understand that the trees in question are about 20 something years old.

I am not here today to fuss, or cry about the tree situation.

I was just thinking that there should be someway, shape, or form that the shuttle could be airlifted by 2 monster helicoptors carefully spaced for blades apart protection/weight distribution, that on a chosen calm wind free day might be a better
manner!

I'm probably dreaming as I'm sure the shuttle is quite heavy. Probably too heavy for my idea???
