Thanks! For others who have not seen the photos, click here,

ok, now I see it.

ok, thanks. And yes, I ment U49.

Also, maybe one of the RFD guys can help out here... It looked like the water was not coming from a hydrant but from Long Island Sound, is this true? Also, I am not tring to bash RFD but why and what for, was U49 (not U39) used? I took one person to the scene, acording to the IA.

I do not know the cause at this time. Maybe some RFD members can help us out with that. As far as the ladder, it was used from that position to bring firefighters to the roof.

I think as long as it is on topic, it is ok.

I have to agree with the above posts. But it is not just jetBlue, the whole airline industry took a descent with the bad economy. Also, jetBlue is really not that "low cost" anymore. I really think the term, "low cost airline" is now like an oxymoron.

This is a video Produced by Rye City Council member Joe Sack for a video series called "Eye of Rye". It aired earlier this year but has just resurfaced. I am unable to post the video directly, so just click the link. Click Here

when pigs fly

I too believe in the phrase "see something, say something". But there are a lot of cops who do not understand the hobby. In my opinion, they are not given enough training. I have seen numerous vehicles pull up to a fence, at the airport, and just stop and watch planes for 30 minutes. I am not going to call everytime I see it. When I am flying, I see people taking photos of the airplane I am in, and I just wave. I have no problem that the general public calls and reports this type of suspicious activity at all. Quite frankly, I would be woried if the police never came to visit me, while I was taking photos. I know there are some county cops on the forum and I have a question for them. Do the county cops at HPN recieve special training specific to airports. Is it from the TSA or just internal? Do these cops only work at HPN or are do they do regular parkway patrol too. Thanks in advance.

I am not a huge fan of this poster, neither are a lot of other aviation enthusiasts. I know they are just trying to keep everyone safe but I just think the TSA is sterotyping here. Not everyone taking photos of airplanes is a terrorists. Plane Spotting is a hobby. here are some websites where people share these types of photos...
