Project 737-200
We are moving two 737-200 aircraft from Perth Airport by road to York, Western Australia.
The aircraft will need to have the wings, horizontal and vertical stabilisers removed before loading onto the trucks.
Is there anyone here with experience in removing the wings of a 737-200?
We would appreciate any advice or assistance in this venture. A copy of the Aircraft Recovery Manual would be of assistance too.
For Further information, please see [url=http://www.737-200.com.au]
Many Thanks.

Once we have them established on site, one will be used for novelty accommodation. The other will be open to the public for inspection. We intend to let people see the bits and pieces your not normally allowed to, open up the doors, press buttons and make jet like noises. We will partially strip back some of the interior exposing the workings etc.
Cheers.
Cool.
I bet Perth will be happy to see them gone. I was hoping someone would turn one into a 737NG cabin procedure trainer, like the one in an Auckland shed (was a rare -100).

Suggest you talk to Bournemouth UK based European Aviation. They bought Sabena's entire 732 fleet in the late nineties and also set up Ozjet. They have dismantled many of these aircraft since (although I doubt that they've done a re-assemble) but have massive experience and capability on type and they have some seriously qualified and highly experienced engineers. Good luck - it looks like a great project !
I would imagine that since the aircraft are obviously never going to fly again, the removal and reattachment could be fairly agricultural?
737-200/NG
Speak to south metro TAFE at Jandakot, they are slowly converting the other Perth area to 737NG CP training.
Stab and vertical stabiliser, easy peasy, it happens in heavy maintenance.
Wings? Memory a bit rusty but you should look at wing to fuselage attachment pins ( which will need a jackhammer to remove, or remove the gear, MLG beam and attack the hundreds of bolts on the wing to centre section joint - that is, if it isn't a Huckbolt swaged bolt.
