Dave,
My thanks also for posting Bland, VA. A handful of years ago I was able to photograph their Oshkosh during the late afternoon. I had stopped for gas and thought I would check out the FD. What a surprise this one was, and took some time finding a driver. Because it was late in the day, I did not have a chance to get any decent shots of Engine 21 and 22.
I think I know who you are speaking of regarding Bluefield, VA. I have been in that area only a couple of times, and each time a real challenge with apparatus photos.

You are welcome, Mike. It was your photo that let me know that monster was at Bland. On my next trip home, I will be better prepared for the guy at Bluefield, unless he's the Chief!
