This & That from Here & There

About five miles east of town, the bottom dropped out. I-10 got ugly, wipers on high and not keeping up, 20 MPH with four-ways on, barely able to see the 18-wheeler that was 50' in front of me.... Only lasted about 10-12 miles, then let up to a normal heavy rain. A short time later, it repeated again, then broke up a bit by the time I was nearing Hammond, LA. I had targets there, so I got off the interstate.
Hammond Station 3 is located near the campus of Southeastern Louisianna University, AKA "The Lions". It was overcast when I got there, but I really wanted a shot of the rig, so I asked the guys to pull it out and I got what I could. They also had a reserve engine there, so I asked for that one as well. As the guy finished backing it insde, the sun popped out. I asked him to pull the first rig back out for me.

Here's the dismal shot of the reserve engine.....

Yesterday I went over to Morrow to shoot their new pumper. Firepics member Jim Kay was on duty. Before I got the chance to do that, they ran a call and had to wash the rig, as it was dirty from all the training they have been doing. It should go into service this coming week. Another Firepics member, Calvin, showed up while I was waiting.

Man, the weather has been awesome here lately........NOT! :rant:
I was able to get out for a couple hours this morning, just before the thunderstorms hit. Within a week, four new engines will enter service at Atlanta - Hartsfield - Jackson International Airport. Engine 24, Atlanta, GA 2013 KME Predator SS 1500/500/60F GSO-8788
I also went up to Gwinnett County......again.....

I know ATL has 5 Station but not really sure whats where.Engine 40 - GSO-8829 Engine 35 - GSO-8830 The last one will go to Engine 32, but I didn't see it to get the number. There are also white/red versions going to Engines 6 (GSO-8793) and 28 downtown. There may be others. Also, two TDA's are being delivered for Ladders 14 (GSO-8797) and 16 (GSO-8798). I believe there is a third TDA in the works.
Dave,
Is " Atlanta - Hartsfield International Airport" the same as " Hartsfield-Jackson" ? I noticed that's what is on the Grille. TIA!! Quote:Dave,Correction made, thanks! Quote:Correction made, thanks!I was confused,that's all..... So,2 separate Airports? |
