Did Engine 66 ever have one of those slime yellow 1981 Macks? Maybe a reassigned one? If so, when?

I don't believe 66 ever had a slime yellow Mack, unless one of the rigs became a spare and 66 used it temporarily.

Below is a list of the 10 '81 slime yellow Macks:

Engine 10 (later reassigned to 4)
Engine 41
Engine 42
Engine 45
Engine 46
Engine 58
Engine 85 (later reassigned to 263 then to BOT)
Engine 94
Engine 236 (later reassigned to 73)
Engine 277 (later reassigned to Dept. of Corrections)

Engine 65 had the original slime yellow rig, a 1980 ALF.

  Engine 66 had one as a SPARE, I've seen a photo of it, the numbers were small sized.

Technically  i think the 10 Macks were lime green & the 1 Mack was lime yellow.......the reason 236 gave up the Mack was that there had been some incidents involving the FFs & some neighborhood miscreants the word was out among the street thugs in ENY that the FFs in the green engine should be targeted so the Job took the rig away.... at the same time 73 was lobbying to get rid of their ALF so they got 236's

Thanks all. I believe the photo guitarman referred to was the same one I'd seen which caused me to ask this question.
  Thanks, again.
