This & That from Here & There

[GA_Dave]

This was the final rig for the day and it was not a planned stop.  I was driving by at highway speed when I saw it and skid marks soon appeared.  It is owned by a heavy truck repair business owner who bought it "because it looks cool".  While I was already familiar with what it was, it was the first one I have ever seen in person.  It was one of 68 built for Transport Canada, in 1987 and 1988, to cover airports across Canada.  The business was closed at the time of my stop, so I could not get the rig moved for a better shot.  It wasn't the best lighting situation and required time in the photo shop, but here is the result.
