Fly Away Kit

Here is the Statue of Liberty from the road. Apparently it is mega huge close up - so maybe one day I will get the boat out there and see it...



This is the FEMA Homeland Security staging area. National Guard were helping out. 

A FEMA truck. 


 This is the fly away kit. 5 Boxes. Can be shipped by plane if needed (for emergency situations).

In under an hour Sprint would be pulling 10M of internet out of the sky. 


 This kit was made by General Dynamics and very nice it was too. The dish panels can be nicely tucked away.  

This is Brian. He was a marine. Probably still is. The base is orientated and made level.


The first panel. No nuts to worry about - all screws have handles. 

The panels are numbered clearly. There goes the middle. 


 Now for the last panel:


 Dish is ready. The modems and stuff will end up in that trailer. 


 That Italian looking guy was the guy Sprint were putting the dish up for. 
He was a Paradise Modem user! 


 He showed me his truck. He has the old P300 and the Evo. 

The link is up and it all worked first time. Amazing!
The New York State Emergency Management Command truck had Paradise modems inside and out!
