Other then some I-95 traffic... today is a perfect day to go. Thank you! I only saw 1 ambulance, 1 Medic Flycar and Playland EMTs. But according to others, there were 2 ambulances there. They staged at the enterence until the scene was deemed safe. I do not know if anyone was transported.

I actually was in the area when this happened. I went over to see what happened, to only be kicked out of the area by county police. I have to agree with you... rules are rules. By the way, units from as far sounth as NYC came. The response was huge. Does anyone know what a code "Blue" is... it was sent over the hotline.

I personally hvae collected many of these models, and will miss Code 3 greatly. However, I saw this coming, it was only a matter of time. I have to agree with the above comments, their quality took a big hit.

Today, on my approach to HPN, I saw a plume of smoke coming from northern westchester. I originally thought it was a brush fire but when I saw the IA for Pound Ridge, I knew that was it. This Photo was takken about 10 minutes after first dispatch. The actual fire was just on the other side of the rigde. At this point of my flight, I couldn't of gotten closer. Anyways, these are the photos I got...

Thanks guys. I guess I was at the right place at the right time .

Go to your profile, click on "edit my profile". Then on the left menu, click "change photo" Thats it.

Wow.. big upgrade! Thanks for sharing! The Old:

Thanks guys! Yes and Yes. When Obama comes to NYC (like yesturday), the entire airspace is shut down, with only some exceptions. I needed to land before the airspae closed. Also, at this point in my flight, I was already given strict instructions on how to approach and land at the field. Maybe next time...
