No problem. Stuff like this happens for sure, I just don't know of any other official channel to go through unless someone knows somebody up top, so if someone knows how this works by all means keep trying to work something out.

I seem to recall a C-130 transported a privately owned stewart tank for a reenactment, but I don't know the deal they worked out for it; if it was paid for, or if the guys did it pro bono. If the plane was already headed that way, or if it had to go out of it's way to make the trip. Regardless, I wish you luck. Given the distances involved, it might even take a C-17 or C-5

Anyway, shoot em a message and hopefully they'll reply <img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
