Note the number of lines required to lift the tent material -- not the mention the number of men.


The aluminum framework for the Aer-O-Dome is laid out on the ground and then "muscle" is used to begin the erection process.

The 46-foot spire for the Theme Center is lifted into place by the crew.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
If you have any additional information about the history or whereabouts of additional Futurliners, we would like to hear from you. Our objective is to capture as much of the history of these vehicles as possible.
