Truck 338 used to be at National, then went to Dulles where they cross-staff it. The new ladder truck is for Dulles, since the Authority's mailing address is for National anything going to bid whether it be National or Dulles will state National. Also, E-301 is in the station and we are working on mounting equipment, will hopefully be in service by the end of May; we still have to complete drivers training on it.

I got tired of waiting for a nice sunny day......I am not sure DC will have one of those on this trip....
I chased the storms to Dulles and barely beat them. Here are my slighly pre-storm pictures of Engine 303. I will post a number.

Actually, this is not a bad shot Dave. Clouds not withstanding, this color scheme still shows fairly well in poor sun conditions.

Thanks Paul. All in all I was quite pleased that I beat the storms and the pictures turned out ok. I will get shots at some point, if not this trip, next trip in October of 303 in sunlight. I would like to get 301 first, and a few other goodies I have been trying to shoot. I was able to add to the Alexandria thread the other day.

Excellent pics Dave! I think the chauffer side shot is the best. The threatening clouds in the background make it a fantastic "mood shot".
