[quote name='GA_Dave' post='94677' date='Apr 5 2007, 15:45 ']I had been previously led to believe that this was the same rig that is at Pennington Gap, VA, but after looking at pics of both, I now think they are two different rigs, but still from the same specs. The Pennington Gap rig has been identified as 80-1641, formerly serving the U.S. Navy at Portsmouth, VA. The Holly Grove rig is most likely 80-1639 that previously served the U.S. Navy at Norfolk, VA. Both were 1979 A80-WLR-100D's (100' rearmounts, diesel powered). Can anyone confirm or deny this?[/quote]





Dave,



If the Holly Grove rig is from the same spec order, it looks like sometime during her lifetime, the Maxim rear mount was replaced by an American LaFrance 100' ladder. Can anyone shed some light on this one?
