Yeah, I was mystified. They could have taken it down the NJ turnpike or I 295, but no, they snaked it through on state, county & local roads. Totally weird. . .

But that plane was within view of the crowd in that youtube for about 26 seconds. Twenty six seconds. I can't imagine driving out to some spot on I-77 or I-85 just to pull over and watch a wingless plane drive past me for twenty six seconds.

LOL, that makes 2 of us. Still, ya gotta laugh about the idiocy with it being stuck in Moorestown. LOL, the biggest thing that ever happened to Moorestown was when Thomas Nast decided to live there in the 19th century. Whoever mapped out the route had to be one of the fine folks who subscribe to the South Jersey = North Carolina theory that you see on the NJ board. That's why I'm wondering what will happen in Charlotte. I'm just surprised that they took it down I 77 instead of snaking it through all of the towns along there. (Maybe they had to make up the time that they lost in South Jersey.)

If there was a chance of it rolling off the flatbed and into the basin on I-77, then maybe....

We always said that South Jersey was a whole different planet from the rest of New Jersey.

2 different colonies, smacked together by the British.

Still, it begs the question, will it get stuck somewhere in Charlotte?

No update here. I'm about to hit the road for Gastonia. I hope you read the stuck in Moorestown link.

It didn't roll into the basin on I-77. That's about the only interesting thing I can say.
