I look forward to following your new build thread. Just one suggestion (aka: word of warning): To avoid close encounters of the WEBSITE RULES kind, you should avoid any and all references to ZOMBIES, PREPPING, APOCALYPSE, DOOMSDAY, and SHTF EVENTS as any such discussion is a violation of those...

An outstanding production that describes well our relationship with such aircraft, and in a parallel manner our relationship with our trucks, boats, ships, and yes even trains. They ARE historical "landmarks", monuments to those who employed them as weapons of war. Keep 'em flyin'. Keep 'em...

Let's just call it a blessing from God - answered prayer.

Must be a WOODEN cabin, huh?

Oops ! :doh:

Call in the SkyCrane!

OK, so much for the comedic hijacking of this thread.... Another question for you Troop Seat Experts: When were the fiberglass seat slats introduced? What truck(s) first featured them? When we acquired our Deuce as a cab and chassis, and then snagged the A3 bed the VFD had removed from their...

Somehow, your "- right?" poked my memory..... You'll hear it the first time at time tick 1:15 or so. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ATGrbTN63H4 Are we on Candid Camera???? Carry on.

How about some "BELOW Ground Level" flying.... And, while this isn't exactly a particularly low level formation, it is just above observable obstructions.... Now just to show of some civilian low level performance... How is this for a 747-400 on approach to Hong Kong in 1998...... Carry on.

There's a thread that's all about Garrett's incident and such. The SS Benevolence Fund has started an open collection effort to help defray his medical expenses. Please check it out..... http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?138289-jeepsinker Thank you. John

Think back the days when OUTHOUSES were common. That's the "HOLE", giving each troop carrier TWO restrooms the "back of the bus" for passenger comfort and convenience. Thusly we define the "real soldiers" from the "soilers". Carry on.

This sounds like DH is submitting Jeepsinker for the SS Medal of Honor, or at least trying to get him one of them Hearts of the Purple Variety. WAIT.... I thought those were only for "in action" wounds and casualties.

So, tell me where VICE-VERSA comes in here?

Although that video was of an early model Deuce fording, the fording capability is STILL one of the performance parameters retained in the later models. This could easily be used/mentioned in the written history of the M35A2 without much "literary license" or any "close enough" factor. IMHO

Please remember that brother Carnac is in his pre-going-out-of-business mode. Check the 2015 VIN Info thread for specific notices on the request cut-off date. This is NOT a drill. VIN Info will be inaccessible once Carnac leaves his current government post.

Soni, I kinda doubt your onboard crane could hoist your firefighting module if it was full of water. Do you have plans for Quick-Transfer/Loading of your H2O in the event of a fire response need? It would be a shame to have all the parts and pieces but funk the response-time-test. I love...

Although I do not have first-hand knowledge of the thought processes that gave birth to the WI Laws, I do know that tracks of any sort, even if fitted with the rubberized "pavement cleats", WILL DESTROY PAVING SURFACES when the tracks are "slid" in any sort of turning maneuver. It's a simple...

JEEPSINKER: You can tell your loved by the fact that the natives are already bringing humor into your hospital room and planning to roast your butt if you lay still too long. On a more serious note.... We are indeed praying for your quick and perfect recovery and healing. God sometimes works...

What a worthy project. If you can post the finished report I'm sure many of us would love to read it. Carry on.

Thank you once again Sir!
