Jackson Center from the sky
I'm signed up for Alumapalooza at the Airstream Plant in June. The number of rigs for Alumapalooza this year have been severely reduced because of the recent Plant expansion. I took a look with Google Earth to see what the situation looks like.
The field where the rally is held has been reduced quite a bit by the new building and by the wide paving around the building. It looks like there is about 2/3 of the previous space available.
Of interest is the big lot full of Sprinters, ready to be upfitted (photo). The image was made in April, 2016. About 20% of the Sprinters are black. Buried in the crowd are just three cab-chassis, probably destined to be prototypes for the Atlas. I wonder what that field looks like now!
There will be only three Interstates at the rally. We have arranged to get together and compare notes. I'm looking forward to the session with the Airstream folks to feedback some of my gripes and modifications.
