Fuel Truck at the airport

Had a day trip to Rockford II last week. Walked past the fuel truck and did a double take. Kinda cool to see!

All fuel trucks have the exhaust run to the front of the truck.

Re: Fuel Truck at the airport

Very nice Mike, very nice!

The last Cessna I was in I jumped out of and landed before it did....

Just a thought, next time you are there give the line shack a visit and ask if they ever plan to sell it.

*I'm thinking about printing up a run of "If you ever sell this, call this number" cards.
