Have you ever wondered how the airplanes we admire in museums and heritage parks got there? How do you move a demilitarize airplane that doesn’t have engines or can’t land at its final destination? This is where companies like All Coast Aircraft Recovery and Leslie Chapman Jr. Transport come into play. All Coast Recovery has been recovering and moving aircraft since 1999. They have well-proven skills to safely and efficiently disassemble, move and reassemble all kinds of aircraft from small homebuilt types to multi-engine warbirds.

Buddy and his Father, Les, are extremely familiar with the complexities associated with transporting aircraft, and have moved a wide range of types over the years.
