Hmm.....the image is a bit "smeared" looking, I must have done something wrong. The original file is much clearer. FYI, temporarily using the free software program called "Artweaver 0.5" until I get Photoshop.
Virginia apparatus - miscellaneous - GA_Dave - 10-31-2008
For a first attempt, it's just fine. A bit more even cropping front and rear, perhaps. Image looks clear on my 'puter. Too bad you picked an ugly Velocity!
Virginia apparatus - miscellaneous - e290l103 - 10-31-2008
mine show the same way when I reduce them, they're crystal clear unreduced!

This looks like it may be a little better....hope you guys don't mind my OJT.

102 - Great Photo!!!
If you resize too much, sometimes the final image gets fuzzy!
I’ve seen this photo somewhere else. Maybe someone sent it to me and it was real clear!
Thanks for posting it and post more. Now that you have got the first one up.

The pump compartment. The rig has a preconnected bumper line.
The Electrical panel and light tower controls are also located in this compartment

"temporary" Ladder 1

*Note: this is actually the FORMER Ladder 1 that went to Ladder 3 upon delivery of a 2003 Pierce Dash 85' Tower Ladder. When the current Ladder 3 was delivered, this rig went into reserve. It was resurrected after the Pierce was wrecked and returned to Appleton. The Pierce is reportedly due back this month. Credit to Jerry (firemag) for the updated info.
Virginia apparatus - miscellaneous - mnsand - 12-05-2008
The Metropolitan Washington Airport Authority operates the Washington Dulles International Airport in Virginia. I posted most of their apparatus on this thread already.
This past November, a new runway opened up, and in addition, the Dulles Airport opened its third fire and rescue station near the new runway. It is known as Fire Station 304.
I posted on this thread the new 2008 Oshkosh Striker known as Foam 352. This will run from the new Station 304. In addition, Foam 358, a 2001 Oshkosh T-1300 will also operate from the new station. Future plans call for an engine, tower, and medic unit at the station. Foam 356, a 1989 Oshkosh, is for sale.
Also new at Dulles is Foam 302, a 2008 Oshkosh 6x6 Striker 3000 with a 1950/3000/420. Similar to Foam 352, the newest crash truck has a 55' Snozzle.
Here is the new crash truck.

Finally, this gives you a better view of the new Fire Station 304 - I was very impressed with the facility.
The only other apparatus news at Dulles is a new twin agent unit built on a pick up truck chassis with a skid mount. I was not able to see or photograph that today as it is not in service and was at the airport shops.

Mike,
Great shots as always. Did they say anything about what station will be getting the Arrow XT pumper to arrive early next spring?
I will post this in the AFD thread but I have heard that Alexandria has a Tr/Tr on order from Pierce.

Dave,
Not sure which station will be getting the new Pierce. The main crash station has the newer of the two Pierce's, so it may be Rescue Engine 324 (Pierce Quantum) that is replaced.

A clarification on the new Foam 302 - it has a 50' Snozzle (not 55'). I also learned that is has rear wheel steering, side and back cameras, and 4 undertruck nozzles.
