Mike, thanks a ton for those Southwest photos. As you're well aware, Jerry and I hit Atkins during our trip a while back. Atkins were some of the best photos we got, and it was one of the many stations where I was employed to drive the apparatus from the station to the photo location. The ex Rugby rig was still white, and the Sutphen wasn't even thought of, so I think I speak for both Jerry and I when I say, "thanks!"
I am glad that you got better cooperation at Pulaski than I have on both of my visits. A handful of as-is photos is all I have been able to come away with. As you pointed out, they really have a lot of rigs to shoot, and some of them can be a pain to get pulled out and positioned.
Looking forward to some more of your fine work as always! I have to go check my "Air Pak" now. :-)
