Thanks for the comment Seth! Yes, both E193 and U39 have had their lighting upgraded to LED lights. The yellow license plate on 77A2 is the new, New York State license plate. Here is a video of the emergency apparatus at the parade. Still editing the whole parade video.

I am just wondering why New York State's Dept. of Health certifies ambulances. I see the sticker "New York State Certified" on busses and flycars. It seems that NY is the only state that does this. I am just wondering why. Thanks in advance. Here is the sticker, as seen on Mamaroneck EMS' 68A1

There is already a topic about this... The Battalion: Video Series

Police Radios Don't Work Inside JetBlue Terminal: Report How could this happen? Does PAPD use a trunked system?

Here is the original report by the New York Post: JFK radio daze imperils PA cops

‘Move Over Act” Goes Into Effect Saturday From VTL:

Yup! Port Chester (TL2), Harrison (TL24), Purchase (TL53), Village of Mamaroneck (TL20), Larchmont (TL7), Greenwich (TL1), West Harrison (TL9), New Rochelle (TL11). All are within 10 miles of Rye. So, I think Rye is well covered.

Does anybody know of an estimated delivery date? Any PE Drawings?

Things haven't really changed at HPN. The only changes are more seating and a food stand, both after security. They have also re-aranged the check-in area to fit all the airlines. And they still don't have enough room. Cape Air who flies to Nantucket, Martha's Vineyard and Lebanon NH, has to fly out of a FBO with no TSA because there is no room in the terminal. There are still 6 Gates and 2 have jetbridges. Only jetBlue, Airtan and United Express (opperated by Shutle America), use the jetbridges. They did add a covered walkway on the apron so passengers don't get as wet if they are walking to their plane or back to the terminal. The Parking is still a mess, there is just not enough room. I am still suprised, but am very happy that the observation deck has remained open. They now limit the number of people who can go through TSA. That way the boarding area does not become so packed. On a side note, the General Aviation traffic at HPN has been very good. \

Seth, Airtran does not fly the 727, they fly the 717 and the 737. Southwest is going to acquire both aircraft in the deal. Southeast will add the 717 and the 737 to it's fleet and paint the planes in Southwest colors. I am really hoping for a HPN-LAS (las vegas) route, but I don't see it happening any time soon. Airtran only carries on 20% of the passenger traffic at HPN. In comparison, jetBlue carries 40% of the passenger traffic at HPN.

Seth, your are right. There is a lot of preasusre on Boeing. They feel that if they don't make a more fuel efficiant 737, then they will loose a big client. Cuttently, Southwest has 547 aircraft, all are variants of the 737. They have 133 on order with boeing, with 37 options. Soon, Southwest will start accepting delivery of 20 new Boeing 737-800 (aka the 738). Southwest's Kelly Pushes for Boeing Decision on New 737 Engines

Southwest is waiting for Boeing to announce their plans for a more fuel efficient 737 model. They already have the Boeing 737 NG (next generation), but it is not more fuel efficient then past models. If Boeing does not announce plans for a new model, then Southwest will likely look into buying the Airbus A320 NEO (new engine option). The Airbus A320 NEO is more fuel efficient and has a redesigned cabin. It will have a similar range and payload as the Boeing 737. Yes, Southwest Airlines will be coming to the Westchester County Airport (HPN) sometime this yea when the deal goes through. Southwest has not announced what they plan to do with HPN service, but it should be interesting how they compete with jetBlue on some of the Florida routes.

nice pics. There is already a completed truck at FDIC. Side Pic Rear Pic

Full Article Does anybody have any info on this unit? Are they all volunteers, do they work at the plant? Do they have any apparatus? Thanks in advance.

I could be wrong, but I thought only paid departments have deputy chiefs.

it is not government owned. it is owned by Energy.

ok, thanks for the clarification.

60 control does nothing untill advised by the plants fire brigade and/or security. The fire brigade handels everything onsite, with their apparatus and firefighters. If help is needed, they would contact 60-control. Buchanan would be the first due deprtment.

no problem. mods please lock
