MADDOG93 Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 Matt watched you land that bird at the Conn Yankee show years ago as I am on the Board there. Any time you want a ride around the city by water just call here or there Pat knows and Will knowns how to get in touch with me. I too was at 9/11 first in the Bronx to cover then down to the pile 12 on 12 off for week. Stay safe my friend .

mattb73lt Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 (edited) Angelo, I will definitely take you up on that ride when I get home. Flown through there dozens of times with the military and state but have never have seen it from the water. I used to love showing people how close we are to the city from CT. At 1500-2000 ft, just South of Middletown, you used to see the Towers easily on a clear day. Or, just East of Hartford at 5000 ft you could see both the Boston and NYC skylines.

bulldogboy Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 Little tidbit of information; the famed naval architect William Francis Gibbs, who designed "Firefighter" in the 1930s, also designed the "Superpumper" system for FDNY in the 1960s. bulldogboy 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/31000-a-day-in-fdny-fire-fighter/page/2/#findComment-181332 Share on other sites More sharing options...
