Was cruising around today with my dad and older brother, running a few errands, when I saw this sitting inside a hanger.

We stopped and asked the mechanic if we could come in and check it out. These things are REALLY BIG!!
This particular one was built in 1970, and just went through a one year overhaul a couple years ago, funded by SDG&E. Not pictured are cement buckets, the 2650 gallon water drop tank, snorkel, a 660 gallon bambi bucket, and tow straps. These things have a 12 ton lifting capacity!!
Couldn't help but get a pic of me with it. I'm 6'1" 215lbs and even I look tiny :eek:

Supposed to begin working on a project out here by the end of the year, I think is what the guy said.
