One of our partners helped line up this blade that was donated to Northeast Community College by the trucking company that damaged it. We just needed to pay to get it up to Nebraska from Texas—about $10,000 for a $50,000 blade! Tell Robert it’s not much to climb but at 121’, It’s one big honking piece of equipment.
