Congratulations to Alex Engelson!
You probably know Alex Engelson from our WINGS Safety Meetings where he volunteers his time as a FAASTeam Representative and presenter. (Alex also instructed as a local Fixed-Wing CFI, and served as a Flight Instructor on the Blackhawk Helicopter with the Massachusetts National Guard). Alex recently began a new chapter in his aviation career, and it is my pleasure to welcome him aboard to his new position with the Bradley FSDO as an Operations Safety Inspector. I am happy to report that Alex will still be still be involved with the FAASTeam as a volunteer Service Provider! If you see Alex, please tell him congratulations! Thank You and Best Regards, "Dan" John Daniel Carter John.Carter@faa.gov

While six doesn’t sound like much, earthquakes at this volcano are typically located at a rate of about one earthquake every two to three years. With permission, CVO scientists rapidly installed three temporary seismic stations closer to the volcano to enlarge the permanent monitoring network. The temporary stations included a seismometer buried in the ground, a plastic case that contained batteries charged by a solar panel, and a cell antenna so data could
