I am guessing that these busses are for industrial transportation??? Mining industry????

Although the busses I rode during my public school time had Brockway chassis!!

Mr Sikorski offered my father a job for life and starting salary of 10 times he was making as a pilot in the navy after a bearing failure almost killed him.

he also offered and gave the co pilots wife life benefits and salary after he was killed in the crash.

back in 1952, they were the first pilots killed/almost killed in one of his birds crashing. 

he also paid for dads hospital stay and all reconstructive surgeries.

when dad finally was released from the hospital 2 years later, he declined the offer telling Mr Sikorski he could not be held responsible for an accident that was caused by a bearing failure. 

they remained friends for  20 years until Mr Sikorsky passed away.

His office is still the same and sealed .........But a seagull crashed through the window  and made a mess ......My son went on field trip back in school .......
