The 747 Project

As my fLUMENS Tensegrity Tower project did not make the cut I decided I to help other creators with their projects . While looking for help request on Burning Man community forums I stumbled upon the “Big Imagination“ project . It’s a Boeing 747 jumbo jet that has been relocated from Mojave aircraft boneyard into the Black Rock Desert and they needed volunteers to help put the aircraft back together and prepare it for Burning Man 2018 . I singed up and together with a team of volunteers helped to cut, clean, paint, grind, nail, sweep, fasten, screw and elbow grease the airframe back together into a roadworthy state .
