This is cool!
 

I hope it can find paddlers and swimmers in the middle of the night!

Cool. FLIR systems makes good stuff, I've used a bit of it.

Great news
 

But what about the completely innefectual daytime work.. Constant flow of boneheads right out in front of their headquarters and nothing ! Im within sight of there docks and havnt seen MP in smith cove all summer.. I guess its all happening at the weirs :rolleye2::rolleye2:

"Good stuff", indeed; I'm happy to hear that the MP will have it available. I think that the boating community owes FLIR Systems a resounding Thank You for providing it!

Excellent story with pictures in today's Citizen detailing the operational capability of the recently donated FLIR unit to the NHMP. Looks like the Company is going to donate a second unit!

Obviously this equipment will greatly enhance NHMP's search & rescue abilities, making the Lake a safer place for all....

The owner of FLIR does have a house in Moultonborough very nice people.

FLIR is a large publicly traded company, there is no "owner" of FLIR.

If you're talking about Andy, he is the CEO, and yes, he is a nice guy.
