    Next Dutch salvage yard

    If you get a chance, look for the data plate on that dolly; I believe I have the same one. It is huge. I'll look again, but as I recall the tag on mine referenced a large trailer/dolly system for the Army Air Corp. M-4 or something similar.

    B-29: The "Kee Bird" Disaster

    Why bring this one up? Post count low and need to boost it? In the general aviation, and Warbird Community in particular, any mention of Darryl Greenamyer is a really bad thing due to the Kee Bird event. This particular subject remains so sore to this day that any respectable member of the...

    West bound!

    The gypsies from Ohio arrived safe with a trailer load of stuff yesterday evening. They are hard at work stripping parts from an M108 that is parked in Gasser Row. I am in the middle of a long outage here at work (once again), and will not be able to be home to share in the fun.

    Striking hardened Steel on hardened Steel is a bad idea.

    The bit about foreign materials traveling to different locations in the body is a fact. My grandfather was shot accidentally in the lower leg with a shotgun while hunting as a kid. He always talked about shot coming out of him in various places through the years but I never beloved him; until I...
