The brown metal fixture was custom fabricated by Coast Machinery Movers to allow the Versalift to move the airplane. Steel plates were laid at the rear of the Versalift to protect the grass from the heavy equipment. The plane will be refurbished and reinstalled in a new location after campus construction is finished.
