After the test was over, American Red Ball Movers delivered our airplane
to its new home at the FAA building in Los Angeles.
The AIAA Los Angeles Section greatly appreciates and acknowledges the
contributions of
DeVries Moving and
American Red Ball Trucking Companies, which each donated the use of
a moving van to transport our Flyer to NASA Ames from Los Angeles.
This was no insignificant commitment on the part of either company as
we planned several
stops at schools and communities during our trip as
part of our educational outreach program, turning a normal nine hour
drive into nine days of travel. We would also like to
acknowledge the driving teams of Lenny Riegel & Mugsy Malone (Red Ball)
and Alan (DeVries) who displayed exceptional patience and took great care
of our airplane. Without the generosity of both companies and the skill
and enthusiasm of their drivers, moving our Flyer to and from NASA
would not have been nearly as successful as it was.
