Military Airlift (well sort of... I was in the military and I was lifted into the air)

Scenes from Bryan's trip to Moses Lake, WA.   Our plant in Moses Lake manufactures the largest of the Genie products including the Z135, an articulating unit that can reach 135ft.   The Moses Lake plant is located at the local airport.   It is used by the military for touch and go training, as well as Boeing for flight testing.  The buildings are 6 stories high and used to house B-52s back in the day.  Hopefully that will give everyone a little perspective on what 135 ft feels like.

At full height.

Yep at least one hand was on a rail.

The chassis of the Z135.

So, there you go... tomorrow... off to see the Blue Angels at the Seattle Sea Fair.
