Exclamation Seldom seen...very rare photo...

This just in...latest spy photos of an Airstream Hatchery!


and you thought Airstream Eggs were ROUND!

Each one of those square blocks is about 1500# of 1020 Alcoa Aluminum just about enough to make the skins and frames for an average sized Airstream.

You really do get around Aaron! Glad those aren't "frozen embryos" or we'd really be in for it. Ever wonder how many beer cans one of those eggs could make?
