The French actually kept the production line open after liberation. I haven't seen an actual photo of Eisenhower with the plane. The model looks nice but I just never saw it before.

All I can say is "WOW!"

61Sleepercab, Your talking about the Brodie Landing System. Launched normally from LSTs. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o9vAWEgw6cc

Also probably because Tiny would have been a good bullet stop. LOL. Try out this story http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_Carpenter_(lieutenant_colonel)

Or you may want to put in a MRAP seat.

Probably a better video of t/o and landing. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bTEpbv5dHEQ

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wZouzzfZcrg Although it can surely do better, here's one taking off in fairly short distance...and it's got a pretty beefy guy in the back.

It has such a slow landing speed it can land in twice it's length. I would love to have one. There are several sites out there with information concerning them. It is beyond a doubt one of my favorite planes. Never saw anything showing Eisenhower used one....interesting. Speaking of light...

OK, let me check these real quick. Nope, both registration numbers come back with nothing found. Hmmmm could it be the directions were not followed. Green Machine, I'm floored, I thought you were better trained than this. No space. Man from Minot, don't be sorry, be correct, no change the...

Finished the GAA this morning except for two fittings I couldn't get to on propeller shaft. Too tight for grease gun. Will get the grease accessory kit out later and see if there's something there to fit in there. I noticed in the Lub Order close view L shows a fitting on the front and...

New (old) steering wheel is finally installed and mostly operational. I'm missing the ringy thing that holds the horn button in and the screws. The threads on the steering column shaft had to be done (don't ask how they got buggered up) and luckily my common 1 tool set came in handy to use a...

These are some good ideas. When I first saw the thread I had nightmares of the return of the "Hey, look at this neat tool box that is shaped like a fuel can!" thread that I think has been banned from all internets from all over the world because there isn't a single living soul over the age...

Nathan, do you need some help with that there seat? I might be able to find you something a little better.

USPFO is the US Property and Fiscal Office. They are the property, supply and money folks for each state National Guard. They take ownership of the vehicle as it leaves NG service and goes to DRMO. Some states do a transfer that appears in the database...some don't. PA has a history of...

A no letter registration number is highly unusual. Interesting.

Don't PM me.... What is the NSN on your data plate?

If not, is there a registration number painted on the trailer? Unit numbers? Take that to the 2014 vin info thread. Make sure you read the instructions.

Ain't no O in registration numbers. Don't care what you think it is, it is a zero. Doesn't matter what it looks like...it's a zero. Same goes with military VIN's--no O it is a 0 (zero).

Mine was a solid body with all components and just needed tires battery and starter. 600 purchase and well over 5K in various work Plan on 5 to 7 K IMHO.

Not real rare but they are nearing the end of being sold out at GL (still quite a few to come just not the vast plethora like the past). I bought one for $177 from GL in 2008 that had went from being rebuilt straight to me buying it. So unless you already have access to all the stuff to refurb...
