After 47 years in its cocoon, the "ugly duckling" has emerged, alive and vibrant. She waddles like a duck. Her quack is still a bit shaky. But she's learning once again to spread her wings and FLY ! ! ! I render my most humble salute to ALL who have invested so much time, energy, talent... and...

It looks so.... so.... DRIVEABLE !!!

An SS Member by the username CARNAC WAS able to search the US Army's MV Data Base and provide VIN Info to members, asking only a donation to the Wound Warriors Project. in return. UNFORTUNATELY for all of us, he has recently retired (with our most sincere congratulations) and no longer has...

You're welcome. He was the same pilot that described his first solo instrument landing. Clouds were on the deck, his instruments looked good. gradually descended below 100 ft above the ground. He was perfectly centered on the runway, but it was 80 ft long and 4800 ft wide!!!!!!! OOPS !

I believe I have been aboard airplanes for similar crosswind approaches and departures. Most pilots will tell you that the most challenging part of any mission is the point at which you convert a truck into a flying machine and/or when converting it back into a coasting truck again. A test...

OUCH - That RED font is HARD to read. It's been proven that the default colors work best for most men & machines. OUCH, my poor ol' eyes. ~

With a bladder, the former steel tank should not be sealed but instead vented to allow the area between bladder and steel to breathe as the fuel is consumed and the bladder contracts. Otherwise, the engine's fuel pump (sucking) action would be fighting the vacuum created between the shell of...

A bladder-bag inside that steel might also work. Much like the explosion-proof fuel cells on some aircraft - - - - If there no air in the bladder, the risk of explosion is radically reduced.

Where does that fuel cell reside on the truck? Is that the filler neck port I see just aft of the passenger door?? Thanks.

Folks, we are surely witnessing the miracle of re-birth ! Zout's da man!!!

DC-10 trying to save the high school in Chelan WA

I was hoping this post would prompt some relevant MV Safety discussions and maybe even some True Horror Story submissions (with Pics??). There are some experiences that others can learn from. Some are even survived for first-person accounts.

I have been an avid follower of this thread and privileged to be included in many text messages. I hold papabear and zout in high esteem for their dedication to the funding and restoration of this K-18's resurrection. They have and surely will continue to pour into this project with unwavering...

Many MVs, in fact almost ALL of them, have pressure containment components that can become deadly if not respected. Everything from compressed air systems, tires, and associated equipment feature designed safety features and devices that should be inspected regularly. Although this picture...

Two possible responses to this.... 1. I can neither confirm nor deny my personal access to such TOP SECRET information. 2. There are NO CLASSIFIED EMAILS on my personal server. Carry on.

We hear the passion of your pursuit pretty perfectly there, Zout. Your dedication is worthy of a medal and commendation. Carry on!
