The world's oldest found Tyran**saurus rex is about to take flight.

Trix, a 66-million-year-old female fossil found in Montana, will board a KLM Royal Dutch Airlines flight from Chicago to Amsterdam on Tuesday. The skeleton will next move to the Naturalis Biodiversity Center, a museum in nearby Leiden, a city of about 200,000.

Trix even has her own passport, whose headshot accurately captures the mood of most people in long airport security lines.
