Moving the F-1's nozzle extension from the truck to a staging area on the concrete slab.

Picture 3 of 4.

Since the throat support suspends the engine several inches off the ground, the restoration crew has installed "outriggers" on the nozzle extension to prevent the engine from wobbling.

Also note that the nozzle flange struts (arms at the forward end of the G4080 Nozzle Extension Handling Fixture which help attach the nozzle extension to the handling fixture) have already been removed.
