| Description: | Moving Air Force Hangers Defense department cameras record a very moving story. The Flight Test Center at Edwards Air Force Base, California. But lets start at the beginning - due to increased research and development activities making existing runways obsolete two giant hangers either had to be replaced or moved intact to new runways across the waste lands of the Moab Desert. Two choices - one decision. Move the hangers by doing so; the taxpayers are saved two million dollars. Establishing shot - A hanger at Edwards Air Force Base. MS - Air Force personal stacking wooden planks. CUS - Rubber tire mover building dollies. MS - Dollies moving the hanger at Edwards very slowly. | |
