Does Abington still have the Young Crusader?

 

 

Virginia has two different Abingdons, on completely different ends of the state (almost 400 miles apart).  You're probably thinking of the one in Southwest Virginia.  They didn't operate a Young Crusader, but the Marion Fire Department, a few miles north on I-81 from Abingdon, did.  They once operated the ex-Nanuet, NY Crusader aerial.  That was replaced in the 2003 time frame with a couple of E\-One quints (with dual Roto-Rays, nevertheless).  No word on it's fate once it left Marion.
