Beats taking a SAWSALL to the rudder.
Is there a funny trade name for this effort? like ...Sheep Shank
or how 'bout Rolling Bend?

I seem to recall that the KC-135 and the B-52 (not sure of that) included a hinged vertical stabilizer which could be folded for service in low hangars. As aircraft get larger perhaps this idea will resurface.
We used to do this all the time in Tulsa for the MD-88's only with a 6" drive up ramp nose in.

I hope they are paying the guys properly...talent like this is does not grow on trees.
I probably just spun the plane around and hung the tail out main doors myself, you see that all the time. Over-complexity is going to lead to an aircraft damage pretty soon.
