KARL HEINZEL IS FIDDLING with a C-clamp fastened to a wing of the 1912 Olmsted Pusher so he can mount the wings on what he calls "Frankenstand," an adjustable support he designed to display the fragile pieces of a century-old aircraft. Designing the display mount is just the latest task in his year-long effort at stabilizing this unusual airplane, one of more than 40 he has worked on during his 34-year career at the National Air and Space Museum. That career was to have ended in 2008, when Heinzel, then deputy shop supervisor, retired at 57. But he has now become that rare person who can legitimately quote Michael Corleone in The Godfather, Part Ⅲ: "Just when I thought I was out, they pull me back in." Two years after his retirement, "they"-the rare, historic aircraft in the Museum's collection-pulled him in to continue, unpaid, the work he was paid to do for more than three decades.
