One of the few ALF Silver Eagles. Juergen
Juergen your right. And a very, very, very problematic rig to say the least. A friend of mine is the Fire Chief there and he will never buy another ALF again because of that rig. Corrosion, cut structural members on the aerial (literally cut), etc. have made this rig a 1st and only for them.

That would explain why they were advertised by ALF for about a year and then removed. I don't have much knowledge of metals but would presume that due to a low grade of stainless steel being used, corrosion and oxidation were the main issues, as stated? Also, The Aerial Innovations brand was only used for a short time, why? |
