    A maintenance crew of four workers is performing engine removal or installation work on a vintage radial-engine aircraft, likely a WWII-era bomber or transport plane. A crane with lifting straps is being used to hoist the large radial engine, while workers on the ground and on the wing coordinate the operation. The work appears to be taking place outdoors at what may be an aviation museum or restoration facility.
