@TheNextSummitA1 Room temperature water is much, much easier to drink than cold water.

Cranston Police have confirmed that they are blocking public access to all of their radio communications, including their dispatch frequency. The public's right to monitor public safety agencies in real time is a crucial step in maintaining transparency.

@TheIntelFrog @CYBER__WHAT I'd like to see what the comms plan looked like for the event...if one was even made.

[michael haggis @mbenjamin722]

@stillold4dis @thenewarea51 They also use a DHC-6 Twin Otter, that's the smaller aircraft that they use.

[michael haggis @mbenjamin722]

@HotshotWake Does the MD-87 no longer need gear down while dropping?

[michael haggis @mbenjamin722]

@KF0FQL If that was on the East Coast I'd def say it's a PTC (Positive Train Control) 220mhz antenna set up, usually on a 60' pole with a control shed nearby...but I'm not completely sure what styles are the norm in other areas.

[michael haggis @mbenjamin722]

@Mikekan45608599 @KB1JHU @theadsbfi That plane off the RI coast was reg 113013, a Dornier C-146A Wolfhound USAF 'Cougar',a surveillance testbed. It stayed at Quonset for the past wk, but it's gone now. Last week one of the flights did 28 loops. I would assume it was testing. Don't get A/C like that too often here.

[michael haggis @mbenjamin722]

@MartyMcFLYS @TheIntelFrog @DaveOTGphotog They did not...RTB about 40 min before they were scheduled to fly over PVD, RI...cloud layer too low.

[michael haggis @mbenjamin722]

@aeroscouting The 101st in New England landed a bit before showtime, guessing it was the low cloud cover.

[michael haggis @mbenjamin722]

@MikeChillit The CB-L is a 21/22' high speed craft launched from the 225' Bouy Tenders, 210' Medium endurance cutters, Alex Haley, and Mackinaw using a single point crane. Used for SAR, boarding vessels, and other work where the cutter is too big/not maneuverable enough.

[michael haggis @mbenjamin722]

@TheIntelFrog @KSOSINT @USAF_VIP_LGX Rhode Island: KC-135 from the 101st Air Refueling Wing out of Bangor, ME flying over State House in PVD, then over Newport, 1330-1400hrs, unk other aircraft. Nothing online, info from a phone call. #rhodeisland #operationcentennialcontact

[michael haggis @mbenjamin722]

@CJPFirePhotos It's a metals supplier, so possibly it was zinc chromium?

[michael haggis @mbenjamin722]

@metro_notify I would focus on NB first, can always add things later...start adding too much and then you start having issues missing transmissions.
