The SEARCH button is your friend. Now that others have led you to the fact that it is a "Bridge Plate", you can enter that in the SEARCH BOX and see a considerable cache of archived SS Forum discussions and explanations of BRIDGE PLATES. Happy reading! Carry on.

Interesting indeed. Subscribed.

May I suggest you send at least a couple of them off for testing by a certified metals lab? They may not have been up to specifications. Hmmmm.

WOW - a REAL do-it-yourself kit!

LA Speed Story I posted this over in the JOKES thread. But after careful consideration, thought it would be great to archive it here as well.....

Hmmmm..... Does that mean you've been profiled as part of the riff-raff and NEED TO BE CLUSTERED, or are they reducing their liabilities and isolating you from potentials that are unspeakable and should NEVER be discussed in a family-friendly forum environment?!?!?!? Inquiring Mimes want to know!

This video was shot 2017-06-02 from our front yard. We are right at 7 miles from the threshold of the runway as they approach from the north. We often watch the landing gear being deployed on planes this size and larger. Listen closely near the end of this short video and you'll hear that...

This thread is dedicated to the T-1A Jayhawk. Originally designed to fulfill the USAF's RFQ (Request For Proposals) for the TTTS (Tanker Transport Training System) concept of a cost-efficient way to train pilots for HEAVY aircraft. The idea was to use an aircraft with flight ops costs as low...

I had heard about that specimen at Midland about that time frame too. Do you know her fate? Next time we're around Clovis & Cannon AFB I'll make a point of checking that gate guard out. Thanks.
