(2021) On April 21 at Marco Island, the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) decommissioned one of its offshore patrol vessels, the C.T. Randall. The FWC’s Division of Law Enforcement — through its Offshore Patrol Vessel Program — enforces state and federal fishery laws and regulations.
The C.T. Randall officially entered service with the FWC on Nov. 12, 2003; named in honor of fallen FWC Officer Charles T. Randall who gave his life in the line of duty.
The C.T. Randall served for 18 years directly supporting conservation efforts in state and federal waters operating out of Port Canaveral, Naval Air Station Jacksonville and Marco Island.
Its presence off the coast of Florida and the tireless efforts of past captains and crew have created a distinguished history. Countless hours were logged conducting long range enforcement efforts, dangerous search-and-rescue operations and high-profile security details, all while maintaining a vigorous maintenance regimen.

Sander Geophysics
Cn.642
Sander Geophysics flies airborne geophysical surveys worldwide for petroleum and mineral exploration, and environmental mapping. The aircraft comes equipped with a frequency-domain electromagnetic system, a stinger mounted magnetometer, and a radiometric system. This “3 in 1” system has been used extensively in Europe and Africa to produce excellent quality very high resolution geophysical data. The addition of SGL's industry leading AIRGrav airborne gravity
system will provide a unique suite of geophysical survey systems for mineral and petroleum exploration. The aircraft is especially well suited to harsh environments where a twin turbine aircraft is preferable, such as offshore arctic surveys.

My entry for the LUG4/2′s 2013 MOC challange! An alternate model from 31006 Highway Speedster. My one extra part is the blue baseboard.
The Flame Towers (Azerbaijani: Alov qüllələri) are a group of three skyscrapers in Baku, Azerbaijan. The main contractor, Dia Holdings, is owned by actors that are linked to Azerbaijan's ruling Aliyev family's network of offshore companies.
The height of the tallest tower is 182 m (597 ft). The three flame-shaped towers are intended to symbolize the elements of fire, and are a reference to Azerbaijan's nickname "The Land of Fire", historically rooted in a region where natural gas flares emit from the ground and Zoroastrian worshipers considered flames to be a symbol of the divine (notably at the Ateshgah of Baku and Yanar Dag).
The three buildings (South, East and West) consist of 130 residential apartments over 33 floors, a Fairmont hotel tower that consists of 250 rooms and 61 serviced apartments, and office blocks that provides a net 33,114 square meters of office space.
Construction
The cost of Flame Towers was an estimated US$350 million. Construction began in 2007, with completion in 2012. HOK was the architect for the project, DIA Holdings served as the design-build contractor, and Hill International provided project management.
Illumination
The Flame Towers are completely covered with LED screens that display the movement of a fire, visible from the farthest points of the city. The facades of the three Flame Towers function as large display screens with the use of more than 10,000 high-power LED luminaires, supplied by the Osram subsidiary Traxon Technologies and Vetas Electric Lighting. The light show transitions from giant flames, the colours of the Azerbaijani flag, a figure waving a flag, and giant tanks of water being filled. Transition times are approximately 2 minutes.
In culture
The buildings are featured in Extreme Engineering, a documentary television series that airs on the Discovery Channel and the Science Channel. The episode called "Azerbaijan's Amazing Transformation" was broadcast on 22 April 2011 as part of Season 9.
The Flame Towers also appeared prominently in trailers before many entries for the Eurovision Song Contest 2012 hosted in Baku (and, in the next 4 years, with the pre song trailer based in the singer's home area, features in the trailer before the Azerbaijan song).
The towers are also a prominent landmark in the video game Battlefield 4, with the first level of the single player campaign taking place in Baku. Additionally, the towers were shown frequently during coverage of the initial Formula One European Grand Prix held in Baku.
A peer-reviewed publication in 2020 noted that the Flame Towers "...are something of a Potemkin edifice in that one of the towers houses a Fairmont Hotel while the other two are unoccupied."

Fortuna, C&C 115
First time participants just keep rollin' in! That's what we like to see. Happy to announce skipper, David De Lanoy, has entered Fortuna, a C&C 115. Fortuna and her Seattle based crew have been active in the racing scene and the Oregon Offshore is considered their key event. One of the many wins she boasts is a First in her division for the 2013 Swiftsure Cape Flattery race. Perhaps she'll sail away with another award on board?!
