17 had two Pierce engines, a 96 I think that was E417 and then V090 which was the Javelin that I've heard so much about but never saw before they did the glider kit. That was the rig marked 438. The 96 suffered the same fate as V114 (13's 93 Arrow) and lost a motor. I think 17 already had the 08 on order or was in the process then so they put V090 frontline at 17 until the new rig came in and now the 08 is E417 and the glider kit is E417B.

There was another Pierce sitting behind the Canteen, but I did not check it out. Next time I am in the area I will stop in again.
Anybody else been to FS 417 and FS 438 in Centreville recently?
