We all dread looking out the window of a jet and seeing flashing lights on firetrucks lined up on a taxiways or runway, but those pieces of equipment and men that man that equipment are there to help whatever the emergency might be--even if it doesn't involve an aircraft. Today, it was for an aircraft that had an emergency on a 10-mile final at Dallas Ft. Worth International Airport.

Modern and not so modern. Even the modern is becoming outdated. The new "A" train in Denton that connects with Dart in Carrollton is fully modern and being imported from Europe. It will replace the old Budd cars that are in  "A" train operation and on loan from the TRE. It won't be long before they will be in regular service.The first car arrived nearly a year ago but have not been put into service.
