F-4023 Installation at Building 4205 (October 21, 2009)

After being retrieved from storage, cleaned, and stored behind Building 4205 for about a year and a half, F-4023 was finally installed in front of Building 4205 on October 21, 2009, the first engine to be installed in the planned "Propulsion Park".

F-4023 was placed on a throat support; for more information about why a throat support was used, see my Alabama Space & Rocket Center F-1 nozzle extension memo.
