Roadtec RX-700

They're resurfacing the street around my mom's house, and I'd noticed this truck-thing parked in the area for quite some time. I wondered what in the world they used it for, and yesterday I saw it in action. I sooo lucked out because I happened to have my long lens with me. I was amazed. My jaw must've dropped because a policeman came from across the street and asked me if I wanted to get a closer look.

A coplaner - if you're passing by Wheeler AAF, it's being done to the runway. Huge, huge job. Been at if for a month and nowhere finished.
