According to my sources, the operators who work for Truck Crane Service, Russ Raaf, Rudy Maurer, and Matt Busse (who's favorite T-shirt reads "I love the smell of diesel in the morning"), the schedule of events for assembling the pieces of the wind turbine was changed today to accommodate the media blitz expected tomorrow.

So today, the blades were attached to the rotor hub on the ground. Tomorrow will be busy: two tower sections, nacelle, and the grand finale, the rotor assembly will all be put together.

See the hi-res versions of these & 18 more photos that I added to the wind turbine construction album today.
