Great pics Dave! Rather than add duplicates I do have a video of one of the wings being unpacked. And this one. A great day and well done the Pioneer Aero team! Cheers

Thanks for putting up those pics. As stated previously, great behind the scenes shots. This thread could get quite long over the next... 5-10 years?
Colin's shot immediately brings to mind the hallway shot of the astronauts in The Right Stuff (for me anyway). It could also maybe do with an explosion in the background that the chaps are calmly walking away from.

Ok it is off-topic and probably been posted here somewhere before.
I did do a search though and it may just be a little related to this thread. If you have not seen it before then it may even be interesting.
