Orange Spinning Thing...Fixed!

You know that orange spinning tower plate you see at airports? Those are called DASRs, or Digital Auxiliary Surveillance Radars. They send and receive signals that tell the air traffic control team where airplanes are.  They need regular maintenance, which the FAA usually does. But my team is stellar in that they're too impatient, and decided to do it themselves! They replaced the joint that makes the system spin...a feat that has taken some teams up to 6 days! But THIS team did it in 10 hours! Talk about phenomenal....





Working hard or hardly working? They're waiting to pulley-up the new joint to it's place 12 floors above.
