Big day at Stellar Aviation as we set the main truss across the front of the hangar today. This truss measures 250’ long by 9’ tall weighing in at 95,000 lbs with rigging.

Everything went smoothly during the erection and fit-up, we spent a great deal of time planning every step of the process which led to the success of this critical pick.  The next few days we will have a crane onsite setting the balance of the smaller...
