Sitting at North ave and Throop waiting to be put in service. Love your website !!
A visit to the Crimson Aerial facility in Ephrata, PA two weeks ago found three units in various stages of the production process. One was going to be shipped to the company’s facility in South Dakota for the mounting of the body, another was a few days behind the first, and the third chassis had not yet had the aerial mounted. By now they should all be in South Dakota.
