A little morning check of the ladder this Saturday, flow and lube the waterway; and enjoying the view on this Spring morning! The view centered in the distance is the "Eagle's Nest" and the far end of CC Delta. American Eagle turboprops stage at the "Eagle's Nest" where buses ferry their passengers in and out. The buildings at the west end(right side) of CC Delta are going to be the new AA baggage shed and the Gate(s) for American Eagle. Photos taken 4/24/2010.
We had a familiarization with the APM along Delta Concourse. These photos are from the roof of the APM station; looking out along the old B & C concourse locations and taxiway November & the tracks of the APM. The thing about this spot is the difficulty of getting an injured or unconscious person down from the roof. The only access point is the laddered scuttle hole in the emergency stairwell, try getting a backboarded 200+ lb. patient down that way!
We got to drill with the emergency slide on a 737 while it was getting serviced at the American Airlines Hanger. Reviewed deployment, facilitating exit from slide and removal from airframe. I actually got to deploy it from inside and "christen" it with a slide down. Once removed from airframe, the slide can be used as a life raft! Photo taken 1/07/2010.
Lincoln Logs to a whole new level! One of the tanks at the Tank Farm was getting repair work done and they had to get to it's base, the power of simple wood is amazing. Photos taken 12/20/2009.
