Yes, I do believe it is a striker 1500. It is being bought by DCFD with a federal grant, so I would assume it would be painted with the DCFD Colors. It will be assigned to 13 Engine... and the June delivery date is of course tenative, so you may make it!

I have three trips planned this year. Two weeks covering the end of May/beginning of June, two weeks in mid August, and a week in early November. I am sure I will find my way into DC to shoot the new Foam rig. Now if only MWAA would complete their order on the new Striker for National and get that delivered this year, I would be happy to shoot both in the same trip but I don't think MWAA has ordered theirs yet. I just posted some info over in the Minnesota thread...it looks like Oshkosh and Pierce are jointly manufacturing the Striker now.
