    NAS Corpus Christi - FLOODING, 12 May 2015

    Wet bearings and brakes. Soggy temp sensors and squat switches. (electronics they mentioned) Are there landing/approach lights on those gear struts too? Does the SAME company that would REPLACE these aircraft also have a dog in the fight for their current maintenance and/or...

    Ahab (and others including myself).... This thread is wandering away from its Title/Topic. Let's swing it back on track before someone throws a yellow flag for the HIJACKING. Thanks to everyone.

    Modern Russian Army in the photos.

    First, I quote President Richard Millhouse Nixon: "I have only THIS to say about THAT..." And now, quoting another US President: "You can fool all the people some of the time, and some of the people all the time, but you cannot fool all the people all the time." Abraham Lincoln

    Modern Russian Army in the photos.

    USSR, Many here, especially me, respect you and your contributions to our knowledge of so many military vehicles. During the Cold War it was my duty to learn as much about the Soviet as was possible through the Allied Intelligence effort. In many respects, the measure of either side simply...

    Am I the only one...

    Praying. And yes, if I watch I tend to notice the MVs. But I do that everywhere my eyes focus.

    Touch-a-Truck, Ypsilanti, MI 5/9/2015

    Looking forward to hearing all about it. Enjoy and have fun. At the TAT here I stopped counting at 700 kids having climbed onto the truck with almost 2 hours left. It was AWESOME !

    The "While you're in there thread"

    What I have are black plastic coated (sheathed) metal wire. I've never really checked to see if its steel, stainless, or cat hair for all I know. LOL

    The "While you're in there thread"

    Good call, Gimp. I hadn't had my on there long enough for the plastic to even start degrading. Of course, here in west Texas, rust is seldom a problem. There just ain't enough humidity really for much condensation to accumulate in the air tanks either. But it's still "best practices" to vent it...

    Camping Safety in Trees

    Yeah. Don't camp under railroad bridges when high winds are expected... http://ktla.com/2015/04/27/incredible-video-captures-train-being-blown-off-elevated-bridge-during-storm-in-new-orleans-2/ Only kidding.... But that video does show how much stronger winds can be above all the ground...

    The "While you're in there thread"

    OK, here's an easy one.... TOO many truckers and MV operators FAIL this simple PM step it's ridiculous. Next time you're under your truck opening the cocks on your air tanks to blow off any condensation accumulation, think about picking up and swapping in a pair of "pull string" type relief...

    Deuce dash cluster

    Yes, sadly, many mv's have been senselessly mutilated by circumcising the instrument clusters right out of them and then being left to bleed to death and rust away 'cause few have the patience to resuscitate them back into an active motor pool. Our local PD has some trucks with radiant gauges...
