I stumbled on this article (it's a bit older) about the C-141's retirement back in 2006. I the latter 70's I was privileged to make some loooong flights as a special "up front" passenger, enjoying a cockpit view and all. (Most of my travels for No Such Agency granted me special seat...

Stumbled on this obscure article: https://futurism.com/lockheed-confirms-secretive-sr-72-hypersonic-plane-will-be-made/ One must wonder if, since it seems the Skunk Works is now talking, just how long has the SR-72 been "in production" already, and possibly even already flying ? ! ? ! ? ...

This one is neither a military aircraft, nor even a LOW flight. But I figured the subscribers of this thread would be impressed by the HIGHLY UNUSUAL observation of this airliner passing nearby at altitude... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cla34QzgbKc Here's the article that led me to the...

Practicing paired tactical approach at just 300 ft AGL (Above Ground Level).... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-1F8U45Rjyc Carry on!

This is an EXCELLENT idea and legitimate request. Photos posted that clearly show the differences will clear up much of the confusion here. They say a picture is worth a thousand words. Truer words have (almost) never been spoken. I'm looking forward to seeing the "police array" of the...

I believe you are confusing split rims for what you probably have... split RING rims. Please read the earlier posts and look at the photos for a better understanding of the differences.

Welcome aboard :) Find a bunk, stow your gear, and prepare to get underway :driver: Congratz on the new-to-you Deuce. We'd love to see pics of your new baby as soon as it arrives. Again, W E L C O M E !!!

You can barely see a snippet of the hood through the wrecker. Certainly seems to be an M-Series vehicle. I agree - Contact the seller. We here can only GUESS. He may have the answer on the tip of his tongue.

Parades and fireworks are traditional celebration activities. HOWEVER, electrical arcing and the electrification of parade vehicles ARE NOT celebratory, but could allow you to bypass the CREMATORY and go directly to ASHES. There ain't a sane spectator in the world who wants to witness the...

I also have the "puppet-string" drains on our Deuce. They are also slated to be installed on our XM-818 before she goes operational. (Still have a significant To-Do-List on that one.) Whenever I am working under a vehicle I wear long sleeves. You never know what sharp-thangs you'll encounter...

At least until you NEED 91 feet.

That's some fine paintin' there! Even Rembrandt would admire your handwork. Did you lay on your back like Michaelangelo to do the undercarriages??? :goodjob:
