Nice Pictures. The Oshkosh Blower the township has is just like the ones we had at the airport I worked at. They were pretty good but were slow going. We eventually got rid of them and got all new Oshkosh Blowers with 475 hp turbo charged diesel engines just for the blower head. They had six cylinder diesel engines for the truck itself.They would put the snow out there 250 ft+ at thirty mph. We hardly ever used the chutes,in fact we removed them for better vision and the snow went straight out of the side casing which would rotate to either side. Our plow trucks had 22ft front plows with 12 ft. underblades. We also had 22ft steel broom trucks to get the runways down to bare pavement. About fifteen vehicles in all when we went down the runway. Three passes cleared 150ft wide by 10,0000 ft long runway. You could plow pretty fast,..I remember going about 55-60 mph down the runway in the Mack Plow truck I drove. You had to go fast to kick that snow over without spillage.Lots of fun,.. but long hours.
