Quote:To my knowledge, aerials are fabricated at Kewaunee and then shipped to the Pierce IPP plant, where they are assembled, piped, wired, etc. They are then mounted to turntables and lifted by crane onto the apparatus body, followed by initial testing. Build then continues....
Okay, you got me on a technicality. You are correct, the aerials are only assembled at Pierce, but they weren't really aerials until then, were they??? <img src='http://www.firepics.net/groupboards/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/rolleyes.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' /> I'm pretty sure Pierce doesn't make the frame rails at IPP either.....
