shelters are commonly used on military bases to provide
temporary storage for equipment, personnel, vehicles,
and other items. Big Top structures can be easily transported
in standard 40 foot containers or optionally packaged
for air shipment on 3 train pallets and shipped anywhere
in the world quickly and economically. These shelters
can be purchased on Government Credit Cards or from our
GSA contract. Please call or submit

Flight
Line Sunshades have been installed in Yuma, Arizona
and China Lake, California. Big Top has designed
a system that reduces heat fatigue of personnel,
as well as, reduces temperatures on aircraft that
are stored outside. Our proprietary system reduced
temperatures on the seat and the window canopy
of the aircraft by as much as 71 degrees Fahrenheit!!!
Temperatures on the nose of the aircraft were reduced
by 24 degrees Fahrenheit. The test was conducted
by military personnel and the results are available
by request. |
| The
military has utilized Big Top hangars all over
the world in all weather conditions. These structures
can be erected without footings or foundations
on any type of surface. Each structure is custom
designed to provide a total solution to the military
for unique and challenging projects. This structure
was custom fabricated to cover maintenance personnel
while they work on the electronics of the KC-10. |

| The
Eglin Air Force Base sun shade is relocatable, quickly
deployable, and employs a flight line sunshade design
to decrease the temperature of aircrafts up to 24 degrees.
A blast shield like the one used at Edwards AFB was not
necessary at Eglin due to the taller height of the Eglin
shelters. |

Grumman hired Big Top to customize a hangar for the
Global Hawk with large 120 ft wide doors. The hangar
was designed and fabricated in record time -- arriving
at its destination overseas within two weeks of the
order date. Employees from the Red Horse Squadron of
Hurlburt Field were trained to install this structure. |

sunshade was especially designed to fit the FA 22 fighter
plane and was fitted with a durable blast shield in the
ceiling of the shelter which would withstand the extreme
heat of the FA22 upon start up. |

Big
Top installed two shelters for USCG in the Bahamas. These
buildings were used for housing helicopters for maintenance
in the Caribbean. This building can
