My Dad was in the Coast Guard before and after the Korean War, and a couple of his tours were “weather patrol” between Newfoundland and Bermuda. In addition to taking observations using wx balloons and radiosondes (I believe), he talked about regularly patching airplanes into the marine operator system. I was surprised to hear him talk about that — i.e., seems like aviation did not have the same communications infrastructure, so the piggyback was necessary.

No lines but Aurora Australis in b&w.

B&W is a different form of photography, for sure.

Shades of Pink Floyd! I’m sure you’ve seen the power plant in Chester, PA. I can’t recall if it’s visible from Amtrak or I-95, but it’s a terrific ride down along the waterfront from PHL south – lotsa history from the Lazaretto in Essington (bought & sailed a boat from nearby — strange air currents from outbound flights — slow & heavy), to Piasecki Aircraft & down to Wilmington.
