The official lock from the shipping company was attached. N207FD is officially "loaded and locked".
Thanks to Jean Roman, our administrative assistant, the container truck showed up at 9am sharp!
Our kind driver gently loaded the container...
...Carefully traversed the poor roads...
... and avoided the helpers that cleared the low-hanging power lines on the way to the port.
Now, the fun with the customs officials begins. When we first arrived at the port, one agent told us that we would be assessed an $80,000 fee for transporting the airplane out of the country! So, I was faced with either having a heart attack or laughing... I laughed. I hope he wasn't offended. Later, $80,000 turned into $80- lets hope it was just a decimal that was misplaced. Thanks for your prayers.
