1/8/2005: 747 on Amsterdam's canals

Just north-west of Amsterdam, in Lelystad, there's an Aviodrome aviation museum. KLM donated an old 747 to it but it turned out not to be possible to land it there. No problem: just take the wings off, take the tail off, and float the rest through the canals of the city. Mostly at night so you're not interrupting regular traffic so much... and not causing so much commotion.

Dutch story with "breedband" video

more huge photos of the event
