(Going to China) give them a few years, They will be selling Pierce knock-off's in Walmart [/quote] I was thinking it's a shame Code 3 went under when it did, now that the Chinese will have real American Pierce apparatus to see up close and know what it's supposed to look like. Can't wait to see that Waldwick engine in person next spring/summer, hopefully!

The Oshkosh ARFF trucks are going to Birmingham Airport England and also any more Industrial rigs in build thanks great pics
I just returned from Appleton on Friday night and was able to get a couple grab shots from around the plant. First up was one of two engines for Parker County.
Hampton, Virginia had numerous units in production. Here is a 105' PUC Aerial on an Arrow XT
One of my favorite units, was this Dash CF without the grill. It is heading to North Carolina.
We looked this unit over pretty good as our next unit due up for replacement is an Engine-Tanker. This one is going to Bethel, CT.
Frisco, TX had a couple units as well. Quint 604 is a 75' Aluminum Aerial built on a Velocity.
One of several CFR units being built for Birmingham, England. The color scheme on these is interesting!
Great work, T-Bone. Naturally, I really like the VA rigs, good see where the second of those two Quantums that Chesterfield has on order are going (the other going to 19). I agree that the CF will the chrome trim-band looks great.

I have a couple from when we conducted our engineering conference back last year.
First up is Saber pumper built for the U. S. Navy. There were several of these throughout the factory in various stages.
Ladder 15 from Columbus, OH. One of three that were under construction at the time.
