The tag isn't always accurate either though... A: the early ones only said "1000" regardless of the chopper and B: it could have been swapped. Not saying this tag won't be but just a heads up what would you prefer it to be?

I'd take option B .

Here are the other 2. http://www.springfieldsirens.tk/original_sirens/images/allis_chalmers/allis_chalmers_1.jpg I really don't have any good photos of the last one but here goes anything. Next time I'm in the area, I'll grab some more. http://www.springfieldsirens.tk/original_sirens/images/pillsbur...

I'm trying to figure out if he means that there were no plans made in 2006 to rem...

Could someone please try to get it? :( If I lived in the area, I would try to get it but I don't live in the area. I strongly dislike when Thunderbolts that are left on top of their pole to rust away. It makes me so sad. I saw another Thunderbolt left at an abandoned plant with all the controls and ...

Well, that explains it.
