Default Epic LT on a Trailer



Anyone know why a painted Epic fuselage, seemingly with engine installed,
would be on a flatbed trailer traveling North on I-285 near Atlanta?

My guess is that this fuselage was a display unit or mock-up, because the
fuselage appeared complete and finished, minus the horizontal stab and wings
(and it didn't look like provisions for those had been made).

I believe it was on display at the National Business Aviation
Association (NBAA) convention in Orlando last week. I think they had a
couple of flying airplanes and a mockup at the static display.

1. It was too lazy to fly over 285.
2. It really likes traffic.
3. It was on its way to see the Big Chicken.
4. Damn hangar rents at PDK...... grumble, grumble
5. It failed to locate the WSB tower, and therefore was off course.
