How to haul a B-36

It was too rainy to walk this morning, so I kept working on the stands to hold the B-36 when we go to the flying field.  I thought the wing and fuselage might go in the storage compartment under the bed, but the center section of the wing is almost 6 feet long and 21 inches wide, so there was not room for two stands.  I think I can modify the wing stand to also hold the fuselage, but for now the fuselage will have to be carried in the bedroom.  While I was working, I heard helicopters coming, so I grabbed the camera out of the motor home and got ready.  It was 3 Chinooks flying fairly low, I hope it shows in the picture, the second one had the ramp down and two guys sitting there with their legs over the edge.  I did some work on Dick Evan's plane and it looks like it will be ready for this weekend.  The weather got better during the afternoon and we finally got our walk in when we went for the mail and groceries.  I tried out my headphones this evening, there is a transmitter that plugs into the TV, it sends the sound to wireless headphones so I can watch TV without disturbing Vera.
I added another picture that shows their feet better.
