One of the most interesting was a recent shipment of a Fiat G.91 PAN Italian aerobatic plane from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.museumofflight.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The Museum of Flight<\/a> in Seattle, Washington, USA, all the way to the <a href=\"http:\/\/volandia.it\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Volandia Museum<\/a> just north of Milan, Italy.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;25px&#8221;][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner row_type=&#8221;row&#8221; type=&#8221;grid&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; css_animation=&#8221;element_from_bottom&#8221; transition_delay=&#8221;1&#8243;][vc_column_inner][vc_column_text css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1642710111168{padding-bottom: 20px !important;}&#8221;]During the regular shipment of such an exciting package, the coordination of project logistics would take a few phone calls and careful shipping by an expert team, and then off the plane would go to its new home. However, this entire process took place right in the middle of the global COVID-19 pandemic when shipping ports and truck drivers were practically at a standstill. Not only did Vector find a way to ensure the safe delivery of this historical item, but we also did it in record time when so many other companies were facing roadblock after roadblock.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css_animation=&#8221;&#8221; row_type=&#8221;row&#8221; use_row_as_full_screen_section=&#8221;no&#8221; type=&#8221;grid&#8221; angled_section=&#8221;no&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; background_image_as_pattern=&#8221;without_pattern&#8221; z_index=&#8221;&#8221; background_image=&#8221;16626&#8243; background_color=&#8221;#003c6f&#8221; el_class=&#8221;testimonial-main-container&#8221;][vc_column][vc_row_inner row_type=&#8221;row&#8221; type=&#8221;grid&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; css_animation=&#8221;element_from_bottom&#8221; transition_delay=&#8221;1&#8243;][vc_column_inner][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css_animation=&#8221;&#8221; row_type=&#8221;row&#8221; use_row_as_full_screen_section=&#8221;no&#8221; type=&#8221;full_width&#8221; angled_section=&#8221;no&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; background_image_as_pattern=&#8221;without_pattern&#8221; z_index=&#8221;&#8221; padding_top=&#8221;70&#8243; padding_bottom=&#8221;70&#8243;][vc_column css_animation=&#8221;fadeIn&#8221;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1642711721066{padding-bottom: 25px !important;}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #ff3e32;\">Seattle Had an Italian Plane?<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_row_inner row_type=&#8221;row&#8221; type=&#8221;grid&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; css_animation=&#8221;&#8221; el_class=&#8221;Case-Video-Section&#8221;][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;52681&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221; qode_css_animation=&#8221;&#8221;][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;25px&#8221;][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1642712167544{padding-bottom: 40px !important;}&#8221;]Part of what makes this aviation shipment case study stand out is the cargo. This was a Fiat G.91 PAN with an incredible past. It initially flew with the Italian Air Force for 8 years before being transferred to the Frecce Tricolori (Tricolor Arrows) in 1966, where it served as an aerial demonstration team like America\u2019s Blue Angels and Thunderbirds, the Canadian Snowbirds, or the Japanese Blue Impulse and White Arrows. As an aerobatic squadron, the Frecce Tricolori served in a non-combat role.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;25px&#8221;][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner row_type=&#8221;row&#8221; type=&#8221;grid&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; css_animation=&#8221;element_from_bottom&#8221; transition_delay=&#8221;1&#8243;][vc_column_inner][vc_column_text]The plane was a gate guard from 1988 to early 1990, then sent to the US <a href=\"https:\/\/www.intrepidmuseum.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Intrepid Museum<\/a> based in New York City\u2019s harbor where it stayed until finding a home in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.museumofflight.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The Museum of Flight<\/a> in Seattle in late 1990. For years the plane was on display both inside and outside the museum, until they realized it would be better placed with similar aeronautical elements, and they then reached out to the <a href=\"http:\/\/volandia.it\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Volandia museum<\/a>.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css_animation=&#8221;&#8221; row_type=&#8221;row&#8221; use_row_as_full_screen_section=&#8221;no&#8221; type=&#8221;full_width&#8221; angled_section=&#8221;no&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; background_image_as_pattern=&#8221;without_pattern&#8221; z_index=&#8221;&#8221; padding_top=&#8221;70&#8243; padding_bottom=&#8221;70&#8243; background_image=&#8221;16697&#8243;][vc_column css_animation=&#8221;fadeIn&#8221;][vc_row_inner row_type=&#8221;row&#8221; type=&#8221;full_width&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; css_animation=&#8221;&#8221;][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/6&#8243;][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;2\/3&#8243;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1643617631835{padding-bottom: 25px !important;}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #ff3e32;\">When expertise and collaboration meet to coordinate a complex logistics project<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/6&#8243;][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner row_type=&#8221;row&#8221; type=&#8221;grid&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; css_animation=&#8221;&#8221; el_class=&#8221;Case-Video-Section&#8221;][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;52680&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221; qode_css_animation=&#8221;&#8221;][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;25px&#8221;][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1643616363756{padding-bottom: 40px !important;}&#8221;]For close to four months, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.museumofflight.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The Museum of Flight<\/a> in Seattle used 3D modeling and engineering to construct a one-of-a-kind cradle that could carry the entire plane in a 40-foot shipping container. They kept the fuselage intact but removed the wings, pylons, drop tanks, wheels, and horizontal stabilizers into specially designed wooden cradles that sat on a metal framework. Also, a local collaborator joined by helping to load and move the plane safely into the shipping container with one of their heavy-weight forklifts.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;25px&#8221;][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner row_type=&#8221;row&#8221; type=&#8221;grid&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; css_animation=&#8221;element_from_bottom&#8221; transition_delay=&#8221;1&#8243;][vc_column_inner][vc_column_text]At this point, the <a href=\"http:\/\/volandia.it\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Volandia Museum<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.museumofflight.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The Museum of Flight<\/a> utilized Vector\u2019s project logistics services, and we couldn\u2019t have been more excited by this opportunity.

The first problem arose when we contacted the Seattle port and discovered nothing was moving due to an influx of Asian goods. That meant we needed to find an open port in the US to take on our aviation shipping challenge. We found success in Norfolk, Virginia.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1642712851021{padding-bottom: 25px !important;}&#8221;]We had to somehow get a plane across the entire width of the United States to a different port within a shrinking timeframe as the world began to realize the movement of goods was at a standstill. We must have called every connection we could find to locate a trucking company that would take our plane from Seattle to a train connection and then from the train to the French shipping vessel in Norfolk. It was through our team\u2019s persistence and ability to think outside the box that we found one such company.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1642712866492{padding-bottom: 25px !important;}&#8221;]Once the container was en route, we went into redundancy mode to discover every secondary plan possible in case the constraints of the virus outbreak would slow or freeze our aviation shipment. This is the type of logistics challenge we love to solve: the kind of puzzle that showcases our team\u2019s ability to plan, adapt, and deliver regardless of the complexity of the project.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css_animation=&#8221;&#8221; row_type=&#8221;row&#8221; use_row_as_full_screen_section=&#8221;no&#8221; type=&#8221;grid&#8221; angled_section=&#8221;no&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; background_image_as_pattern=&#8221;without_pattern&#8221; z_index=&#8221;&#8221; background_image=&#8221;16626&#8243; background_color=&#8221;#003c6f&#8221; el_class=&#8221;testimonial-main-container&#8221;][vc_column][vc_row_inner row_type=&#8221;row&#8221; type=&#8221;grid&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; css_animation=&#8221;element_from_bottom&#8221; transition_delay=&#8221;1&#8243;][vc_column_inner][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css_animation=&#8221;&#8221; row_type=&#8221;row&#8221; use_row_as_full_screen_section=&#8221;no&#8221; type=&#8221;full_width&#8221; angled_section=&#8221;no&#8221; text_align=&#8221;center&#8221; background_image_as_pattern=&#8221;with_pattern&#8221; z_index=&#8221;&#8221; padding_top=&#8221;40&#8243; padding_bottom=&#8221;40&#8243;][vc_column css_animation=&#8221;fadeIn&#8221;][vc_row_inner row_type=&#8221;row&#8221; type=&#8221;grid&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; css_animation=&#8221;element_from_bottom&#8221; transition_delay=&#8221;1&#8243;][vc_column_inner][vc_column_text css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1642713464698{padding-bottom: 25px !important;}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #ff3e32;\">An Antiquity Safe at Home Again!<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1642713481865{padding-bottom: 25px !important;}&#8221;]By coordinating numerous schedules with two museum clients and a world of support staff, Vector was able to safely ensure the delivery of a piece of aviation history for future generations to enjoy.
