As I said, how did they dismantle it for transport?
Apparently they employed, amongst others, people who had assembled the Goose in the first place, to disassemble it piece by piece, and each part was photographed and catalogued for reassembly in McMinnville. Thousands of pieces, down to the tiniest spacer and greasiest bolt with the assistance of 75 people and $1,500,000.

Good story about it in Air & Space, February/March 1993...
