I forgot to get pictures I was to busy wiring cakes and mortars for the firing system, but they had a 24 and 28 footer dropped on the ground, loaded with mortars up to 10 inch.
Saves a lot of time on set up and take down, you crank up the scissor trailers and off you go and if they have a lake show drop them in the water, drop anchor's and fire away.

OK I finely got it to upload to you tube, only took three tries and 10 hours to get it done, I only got 25 minutes of the show, missed the last five minutes, but my card on my camera was filled up.
But then we don't scrimp on shows for kids who may have never got to see fireworks except out of a hospital window and may be the last show they see for some, so we bring the show to the camp once a year at the end of July, with all the members chipping in cakes and shells they saved from the 4th to shoot for the kids.
Some of the stuff was just to bright and got washed on my camera, most of the ground fountains was washed out

Great stuff and a good thing to do for kids who need something to be happy about
About the biggest thing we can get around here without a pyro license is a 2" mortar.

We had a good amount of C stuff in the show, all the mortars going off at angle's where the 1 7/8 shells, we just fire a whole bunch at a time, even had 80 roman candles wired in placed in angle mounts.
But all the stuff on the trailer's where licence holder Class B, still working on getting to that level.
But the best part of just doing in for the kids and they loved it, not to many places to can't get close enough to even the fireworks in most cities, unless you camp out there all day.

They seem to be pushing the envelope about what class C means around here. Some of the new "store brand" mortars seem to be almost twice the bang we were getting out of some 3 year old shells I have.
They are still 2", tube size, (1 7/8?) but they are almost 6" long.

Yea one of the guys we buy from had a whole container of fireworks destroyed because they were to hot, but your right the class c is getting a lot more punch than a few years back.
A none of it is legal to buy or use anywhere in the USA

This would be tons of fun, but finding a vendor may be tough and
Homeland Security may disapprove....
