is this how to move your old plane to the hanger?


I see from the banner on the fence in the background that this isn't an old photo, it's new, but in black and white.

Torrance airport?

And if you can afford a plane that nice, why the hell are you using an old car to move it this way to the hanger? (If you hit the brakes in the car, that tail wheel is going to allow that rudder to hit the windshield before the wheel stops up against the front wall of the bed.

OR, are they leveling the plane for some purpose, and not moving it?
