'Abe Lincoln' takes a trip

 

 

A wax figure of Abraham Lincoln, the 16th president of the United States, sits in the front row of a Delta Shuttle airplane at La Guardia Airport in New York on Thursday.

The figure was on its way to Washington for the opening of a Madame Tussauds wax museum on Oct 5.

It travelled as a paying passenger as part of a promotion for the museum, which will feature 13 US presidents, from George Washington to George W. Bush.
