Re: Heinkel He 162 at Garber Restoration Facility

The explanation I received in the Mid-80's was that when this aircraft arrived at Wright Field, the wings were sawn off then re-attached with hinges so it could be put on a trailer and transported for purposes of static display at various airshows and exhibits (the wings were folded up when the trailer was to be moved one local roads.)
I never got a decent picture of the rear, it was always packed in very tight with the other aircraft back then......
