So you want to move a spy plane that is 10 feet wider than the room you are putting it in? Well here is how it was done!

This SR-71 Blackbird was moved from the Richmond Virginia Aviation Museum which is next to Richmond International Airport and was to find a new home at the Science Museum of Virginia.

This time-lapse shows the whole process from getting the room ready to seeing the plane go down I-64.

Marty Batura, owner of the Nebraska-based Worldwide Aircraft Recovery teamed up with W.M. Jordan Company to make the whole thing work, even though it was too big for the room!
