Code 3 1:64 Aerialscope Tower Ladder 2: Patriot Fire Department

This model was released 2000

The Aerialscope is a line of elevated platforms, introduced in the mid-1960s, later bought and sold by Baker Equipment & Engineering Company. The Aerialscope has been a favorite of the FDNY which has operated several tower ladders since 1964. FDNY Aerialscopes were initially delivered on Mack C chassis, and later the CF600. After production of the CF600 ceased in 1990, FWD (Seagrave parent/sister company), Simon-Duplex, Spartan, and later Seagrave chassis were used. Aerialscopes were also delivered to other departments in the United States and Canada, and ex-FDNY tower ladders have been used by smaller departments.
