Back in the 70s-90s, Grumman Aircraft on Long Island used to build the Radome of the E2C out in Calverton LI (on the borth fork just beyond the split) - but the rest of the airplane was made in Bethpage, and the radome was shipped by truck down the Long Island Expressway - now you have to picture - it's way more than one lane wide, the highway is 3 lanes - I was waiting to enter the highway (entrance closed) when the truck, with it's police escort came flying by (pun) - I entered after them, and got up to 70 mph - and they were pulling away
