The first photographs chronicling the refurbishment and re-chassis process for the 1975 Mack AerialScope have arrived. Through regular progress reports we will be better able to monitor progress with the unit, and should discrepancies occur with the manufacturer we will be better positioned to make changes sooner should a problem be discovered or observed. Check back with us regularly to see how construction on our New Pierce Arrow XT AerialScope is progressing.  Click here for our first update. 24/03/2009,14:13 1.52 Mb
