Not to mention you'd have to wear a scape suit at the gas station!

What kind of noise does the pad's OWPs make when they're being operated? Is an electrical buzz noise like other electrically powered doors(like the OPF high bay doors) or do they sound more mechanical given their size?

Here's a question for those in the know:What is the OTV ID numbers for the cameras marked in the attached image as "OTV-X??"

There is only one ET arm
It extends out as well, as needed.
Are you talking about the platform that slightly obstructs the CAUTION sign in the photo?

I fail to see how the other platform can be retracted since it got handrails and metal grating attached it.You don't happen to have a photo that shows the platforms in their retracted state do you?
