Really, really, wide load

The newest addition to the Evergreen Aviation Museum in McMinnville is a long-awaited F-14D Super Tomcat.

That's the kind of Navy fighter jet featured in the Tom Cruise hit movie, "Top Gun."

The Tomcat was trucked down to McMinnville last weekend from Portland during the wee hours of Sunday morning. Due to the size of the load, the Oregon Department of Transportation issued a special permit to avoid as much traffic as possible.

No kidding.
