Hiro067 Posted April 2, 2013 Report Share Posted April 2, 2013 Do you know how often the Dragon is used and at what kinds of emergencies?Dual Fighter respond to incidents such as major fire/explosion or natural disaster that firefighters are unable to approach.I'm not sure about how often they are used, but 1 of 4 Dragon responded to fire at the Oil Refinery following Great Japan Earthquake.

Neil Gordhan Posted April 3, 2013 Report Share Posted April 3, 2013 haha your going to get nicked as a potential terrorist haha Lol nah they were fine with photographing the cars, SCO19 officers are generally quite friendly from my experiences. The station now has my name so if I were to get stopped there again, they'd know I'm not a terrorist. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

met police999 Posted April 4, 2013 Report Share Posted April 4, 2013 oh right so no more CO19? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theocd Posted April 4, 2013 Report Share Posted April 4, 2013 Nope. it's simple evolution - it went D6, D11, PT17, SO19, CO19 and now SCO19, which letter will they add next? Same with DPG, it's now CO6 rather than SO16.Seriously, nice pictures! The OC-D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marshall8946 Posted April 16, 2013 Report Share Posted April 16, 2013 Great pics! Im always at the university, so I know where some of these places are. Great pic of the life flight! Where I usually park, I can see the care bear heli. But my camera doesnt want to get the best pic. But Ive never seen that explorer, thats just weird how they have two designs on it. But its still sharp looking!!Do you have any pics of the Sheriffs Ford Explorer? Not the brand new one, but the older one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But its still sharp looking!!Do you have any pics of the Sheriffs Ford Explorer? Not the brand new one, but the older one.I live in a great spot for helicopter spotting, i see Air Bear all the time, but I do not have high enough zoom to get great shots from my apartment. For the above shot, i got it from the Bowery parking deck right next to the hospital.The reason why the Explorer has the 2 designs on it, it is being tested as a possible new vehicle fleet for APD and they havent decided on what they will look like in service.I dont think i have any of the older Sheriff Ford Explorers, I cannot check out all of my flickr photos to see if i caught it or not until i can resubscribe to see all of my uploads.Feel free to check out most of my photos here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/cak757/Do you live in Ravenna?
