Spotted at the KME plant . . .

When I was at Pierce a couple of weeks ago they still had 7 engines for Honolulu sitting there they were building them when I was there in April as well. Not sure what the hold up is?? I did some checking and KME was $108,767 cheaper PER engine than Pierce and $104,100 for the aerial! That is enough to make you change manufacturers!

While I was vacationing on Oahu last month I was surprised to find out that the new Pierce Arrows were still not on island.  A firefighter would only say "that there was a problem with the build" and the seven pumpers would not be delivered until sometime in 2014.
