These pictures remind me of Costa's posting about seeing a FHP car on the 836 with a Jetstream that had strobes. Looks like this could have been the same car. It appears to be a Troop E car, by the way the roads look.

Of course, the dates on the docs posted on the web could be a little off, but the Sgt standing in one of the pics isn't wearing an 800 Mhz portable, either. One of the pics shows the side of the lightbar, and it's definitely a Jetsonic, not a Jetstream.

I agree, the Jetsonic was seen clearly seen by me on the first post. I was not clear, could it be that Costa saw a Jetsonic lightbar with the strobs inside. I have seen a round strob that is sold for the JetSonic/JetStream. Costa could have confused the Jetsonic with a Jetstream at the time.
Judging by the walls and the water tank tower, it appeared to me the accident was on I-95 North close to Hollywood.

Thanks again for all the feedback. The original title had the unit number (1164) and the Troop (L) written on them in same fashion as I've seen reference material for the FHP SSP's. Both of these appear to have held true from these photos. In 3-4 of the pictures, you can make out the Troop # (L) in addition to the 1164 unit number on the License Plates.
Does seem to have been a rather unique equipment setup, which makes me curious how much discretion the Troopers had in how their cars were equipped. Thanks again and appreciate any additional thoughts folks have.

Troop L makes sense. No 800 MHz until 1998.
FHP Troopers were allowed to add CBs, but weren't supposed to make any permanent changes to the cars without prior approval (despite the misinformation out there). Their policy manual, which is posted online, further explains this. This policy was written in 1996, but the one before it was similiar. http://www.flhsmv.gov/fhp/Manuals/0603.pdf

Looks like the Trooper who was assigned to my car at the time (Earl Brown) is now an FHP Lieutenant in Troop L.
