    Nice pic. They call (called) the ship the "Coastal Crusader" and it was (is) based out of Edison, NJ.

    they're already installed, and can be inflated in a pinch! they're a bit hard to stow though, you have to be outside the helo to do so...
    No these were already inflated and attached to the ship. They looked very cool and i saw the PD land
    in the water a number of times with them. At various times they had a Bell 47 and a JetRanger with
    pontoons also. The ones on the Huey were black and pretty big.
    Wow, going through some pictures I totally fiorgot I had pics of the PD Huey with the pontoons....DUH!!!

    Thats a black and white image of the Bell 206 w/pontoons over the Brooklyn Bridge, but if memory is correct, that model was painted black on white...

    Yes, I was thinking of those colors and the vehicles, but not sure any green ever got onto this one.. but I could be wrong.

    Has anyone seen the State Department of Health chopper? It flew past my house last week at about 100' over the shoreline. It was Gray with a lot of external electronic devices and DOH in big blue letters on the Aft fuselage.

    Those look like sprayers. I guess they use this for west Nile spraying.

    Thanks Tom! I stand corrected, It is The NYC DOH not NYS DOH.

    Those are definitely sprayers..............

    Great pics Tom. I think I brought this ship up for discussion last year or so after I heard the call sign on JFK Tower but I didnt realize
    it had markings and was outfitted for aerial spraying. Looks pretty wild. Do you know where its home base is?
