Czech Republic has done one of the biggest transportation projects in the country’s history.

A Tupolev ‘TU-154M’ jet used by first Czech President ‘Vaclav Havel’ was transported through the country by road in what has been dubbed as the 'Big Flyover'.

The aircraft traveled 383 kilometers from the military airfield of Prague to the aviation museum in ‘Kunovice’. The museum workers raised over 41,000 dollars for it through crowdfunding, which was 3 times more than what was needed.

The aviation museum will make it accessible to visitors in 2018.
