Title: Hello boys, I'm baaaack!
Post by: Ozark on March 10, 2003, 01:21:20 PM

I just got home form a 2-week trip out west. Here are a few photos from my working vacation. We drove the University of Missouri, Mobile ARFF Fire Simulator to Socorro, NM and Las Vegas, NV. It was a fun and long 2 weeks on the road.

Here's a photo of me waiting for the drills to start:

This is what it looks like when I fire up the newbies:

I'm like so offended by that evil american flag and eagle motif on your oxygen tank, it might make opressed non native residents and misunderstood young islamic men who happend to be around an aircraft fire belive that you wont save them in a fire... Take it off, it makes my want to cry into my fair trade mocha latte!

< Mode Off >

:D  


WTG Ozark that looks like one hell of tough job! Cool pics too. :)

Cooool toys.

Love my Air Force fire trucks, had engine problems in a Cessna years ago.  When I was on final to land, noticed they were on standby, on the ramp, just in case I messed up their pretty runway  :)

Funny you should ask. That conversation comes up quite often. I was thinking that we could easily cook 8 sides of beef at one time on the inside. That would give us enough room to turn them for even cooking.
