Spirit of St Louis (replica) - DAMAGED! - Trip to Le Bourget

Back in 2014 I was asked by a French group to ship my Spirit of St Louis replica to Le Bourget, Paris, to be there to celebrate the famous airports 100th anniversary. We thought it would be fun, and a great honor to be a part of the celebration. So, we prepared the plane, built a shipping fixture, and meticulously packed it for its trip overseas. Unfortunately, the trip there, and the trip back were not kind to my Spirit at all. This is the story of our sad Spirit of St Louis Le Bourget Experience.
(Had to add replica to the title . . . we assumed everyone knew that the original was in the Smithsonian! We were wrong!)
