Quote:I recently spent the weekend at Sunset Beach, NC, visiting family who were vacationing there. I managed to shoot a few rigs while there and on the trip home.How can you tell that is a Typhoon? I know you said it has Cyclone II grill but If I shot that I would mistake it for being Cyclone II. Any advice?

Quote:I can you tell that is a Typhoon? I know you said it has Cyclone II grill but If I shot that I would mistake it for being Cyclone II. Any advice?None whatsoever! I only know because the guys there told me. The grille was changed to match the platform. Since E\-One no longer uses the oval nameplates to identify their various chassis, it is impossible to tell a Typhoon with a Cyclone II grille from a true Cyclone II. The cab shells are identical.

My next stop was Calabash. They are a combination FD with two stations. Jon and I visited Station 1 last year, but didn't get to Station 2 because it isn't staffed. I was able to talk one of the guys into meeting me there and pulling out the rigs. The only "new" rig at Station 1 was their used brush truck that I posted in the "Once is not enough" thread.

For many years, this second-hand rig ran as Engine 1279 in Calabash, with magnetic signs covering the gold leaf from the original owners. Today, it serves as a parade and publis relations apparatus.

Cool shot Dave! I've been wanting to shoot that Coxsackie WLF for a while. Do you know where Calabash's LTI Oylimpian (X: Apex,NC) go to?
Also Engine 1270 is X:Arlington,NY.

Also Engine 1270 is X:Arlington,NY.

I am a smidge-bit late in joining this discussion but I am curious....could this truck be built without a pump/tank to increase compartment space, possibly making it a little more appealing to a larger audience? I am sure it could, but I guess you never know...
EDIT -----> Oh, for the love of pete. I messed up and meant to include the discussion for the Pierce Ascendant.

Micah I have the old Calabash truck going to Saybrook Arrowsmith, IL.

I am sure it could, but I guess you never know...Yes, the Ascendant is available as a straight aerial and that would give it a lot more storage space, but would be of no use to my FD. I can think of several places where a short wheelbase 107' rearmount straight aerial would be the perfect rig. The Ascendant will also be available with Pierce's all-wheel steering.
