Dobbins chapel taxis across runway
The Dobbins chapel is towed across the flightline, past the control tower, on its way to the Lucius D. Clay Army National Guard Center, March 17. The over 130 ton load is supported by several heavy steel beams, wood cribbing, and three hydrostatic dolly assemblies which are all towed by a heavy-duty front-end loader. To meet post-9/11 security requirements, new construction of a perimeter road and parking lot at the chapel site, it had to be removed. The private, non-profit Dobbins Chapel Foundation, 94th Airlift Wing and Georgia National Guard arrived at a solution at no cost to the government, to move the historic chapel across the base.
