What does the text in the ad say about ground power vehicles? Anything regarding the bus? |
This is what the text reads about the ground power vehicle, GROUND POWER VEHICLES supply both pneumatic and electrical power for jet engine starting, ground airconditioning and other ground requirements where these types of power are needed. Air and electrical connections are located at the front of the vechicle allow the operator to drive forward into postion. The instrument and control panel are inside the cab, and the power unit is easily accessible through wide doors on both sides of the vehicle . Full sound attenuation reduces operationg sound level below 90 decibels at distance of 10 feet. |

I'd like to see a picture of an 'airservice.inc' bus if anyones got one. My VG/PW 11 window microbus originally had a that and a logo on the rear panel with a red/white/blue stripe below the belt line. |

I was there in 95 with my old 64 bus. They didn't have much in there then. I guess it's pretty amazing now. I was just talking about that museum with long-roofs today. _________________ Confusious say it takes it takes two wipes to know you need three, but it takes three wipes to know it only needed two. |
