Hundreds of people watched as a Dutch Boeing 747 made its way through the canals of Amsterdam last night.
The plane is traveling from Amsterdam's airport to the national air museum.
The runway at the museum isn't long enough to handle a jumbo jet, so the plane's wings were cut off, and the fuselage and its wings traveled separately through the canals.
The entire trip is hardly at airplane speed. It will take four days to complete.
