First new build Aerialscope Michigan on order

[GA_Dave]

 

Dave,

 

I'm no ALF expert that's for damned sure and even what I know I'm always learning more.  So with that said all I did was put down what the Chief told me.

 

If I recall correctly this rig, one pumper and the snorkel were all 1970-1980's American La France open cab rigs.  I think perhaps in 1992 they were rebuilt

into closed cabs and fully refurbished for duty.  I did a full walk around and shoot of their apparatus about 10 years ago, but those were slides and I don't

have a slide scanner.

 

The snorkel was actually a pumper that they added the snorkel to during refurb.

The name "Aero Chief" was an American LaFrance trade name for their articulating platform device, manufactured from 1962-1974.  It was a competitor to the Snorkel design.

 

it was a 1992 WaterChief aerial.

Thanks, Mike!  I wasn't familiar with the rig in question, just knew it was not an Aero Chief.
