Here's a logistical question I thought of, and don't know the answer to. Perhaps someone can enlighten me. How does the protective tailcone get to Edwards each time? Is it collapsable? Disposable? I would think it is too large to fit on a truck or ride alone atop the 747. Anyone know? Peter J. Russell ARPPETER@AC.DAL.CA

"And we're now offering preboarding for all unattended tailcones." :-)
