Glycol Recovery Vehicle, is chassis mounted and designed to recover deicing
fluids on airport ramps and gates.  This unit has exceptional performance and
is expected to meet the ever increasing environmental demands that airports
and the industry are facing.

are delighted to enter into this relationship with Fresia.  They are a company
with a long history of outstanding and innovative products and share many of
our business beliefs and principles.  We are also excited about these new
product offerings and believe they are timely and innovative answers to the
market place needs.  The ORION was well received at the Munich show."

express delivery industry, manufactures and sells aircraft deicers and other
special purpose industrial equipment, and provides ground support equipment
and facilities maintenance to airlines.  Air T is one of the largest,
small-aircraft air cargo operators in the United States.  Air T's Mountain Air
