[quote name='Ladder 68' post='315853' date='Jun 21 2009, 20:37 ']Stupid question...
Any chance Fort Lauderdale Air Support Unit 88 was once at Station #13? Or do they have more than 1?
Thanks in advance.[/quote]
Ladder 68,
Correct! Support-88 was originally housed at Station-13.

Whenever we decide to do Lake Worth, I've got to get this truck!! VERY NICE <img src='http://www.firepics.net/groupboards/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/thumbsup.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='
' />[/quote]Sure, we'll do the other one at Station 2 or Station 95, whichever numbering system you like to use. It would be a morning shot as would the Lake Worth stations.

So, today the Mrs. and I ventured out and on the back roads of NC and ended up on the back roads of TN. I managed to photograph 3 rigs along the way. First up was this one sitting outside the Tellico Plains, TN VFD. All I know is that it's a 1988 Chevrolet with what looks like a shop built tank and a portable pump. It sports Unit #524.

Next, the Mrs. spotted this oldie sitting off the road a piece. All I know is that it appears to be an Ahrens Fox. Has Seven Cedars VFD Engine 5 on it but nothing else that I could find. I think it was in High Shoals, TN. Any additional details would be appreciated.

Micah, I called Andrew when we found it and he said that the two of you had just shot it recently, even described where he'd seen it to a tee. Hmmm, was he cheating on you and running around with someone else?
Mark Carr Photos - BFD1151 - 07-07-2009
I guess so because I certainly don't remember shooting a Fox any time lately.

Today, the missus and I ventured to the west coast of Florida on a spur of the moment kinda trip. We ended up at a few places I'd been wanting to hit for quite some time and even got some other stuff along the way. Here's what we got.
First stop was at LaBelle Airport where we got a shot of Tampa General Hospital's AeroMed 5, now owned and operated by Air Methods. The helicopter is a 2004 Eurocopter EC-135 P2, tail #N137AM .

Florida Division of Foresty's Bell UH-1C helicopter, #N128FC, is now quartered at Page Field in Ft. Myers, FL.

Next up at Page Field was the Lee County Port Authority's Crash 903, a 1986 Oshkosh T1500 1250/1500/200F/500H. These Lee County specs might not be exactly correct as the guys weren't too sure of them. So, corrections are welcome if you've got them.
