Its getting closer. Thank you for all the responses. It is okay if the LCI comes, but we may be a bit too far inland.:-D But am trying to get the PBR guys to bring a boat (on a trailer).

Many of us may be fairly prepared for disasters such as floods, earthquakes, winter storms, but a question posed today about the training going on around here, if you had 10 minutes to grab and go, what would you take. The point being a good to go, grab bag or box, is a smart investment of time...

Looks like I am mostly out this year. Doing a display for Vietnam in support of the PBR guys up at the Maritime Festival in Tacoma on Sat. and Sunday. Will try to get out if I can.

Got confirmation from the event people a couple days ago. They are expecting us.

Way to go Team! As my Belgian friend always tells me, "it is a good thing that you don't have to be good looking to be lucky, because you are very lucky." Will look forward to seeing that rig at one of our events. :D Did you get a tan or green truck?

How are the plans going team? Think we will be there 3 JUNE - 6 June. Tried to get a bit more time, but rooms were booked. Weather this week is in the 60's. Just right.

Am sure it will work out, but probably no way that I could get there on the 30th. Will you be able to charge up the air so you can release the brakes?

What is your time frame on this? I have a towbar, but am about 80 miles from you and busier than heck this week. Do you also need a tow rig for this mission? There is an MV club up that way, certainly someone could help out.

Well we wondered where all the spotted owls went when we cut down all their trees. We have Mazama Pocket gophers. They really enjoy french fries and now their diet is being restricted.

Bring him along. What better way to spend the day.

The military show is wide open, but the airshow, their first priority is aircraft. We are relegated to a narrow strip of grass along side the main hangar. It is mostly populated with the displays of the Friends of Willie and Joe, WW2 history group. But we may try to crash it with some Desert...

The annual Olympic Flight Museum Airshow is coming up, Father's Day weekend, 18-19 June. It is primarily a military aircraft based show and will have some historic Military Vehicles on display as well. Unfortunately ground space is at a premium, due to a couple of endangered species, so we...

Hello Team, Any of you interested in showing off your green or tan iron are welcome at the Centralia WA Summerfest event on 4 JULY. We will meet at Borst Park, just off exit 82 on I-5 at about 0800. They have a really nice community breakfast and then we will get set up for our display...

T minus one week and counting. Thanks for those that checked in. Hope to see you all there next Saturday. Event runs from 0900 to 1600 for visitors. It is a great day for the kids to climb on just about all the Army and Air Force have in the way of vehicles.

MtnSnow, thank you for sharing the painting manual. I have used chemical strippers, wet dry sandpaper and my current favorite is 4 - 0 steel wool and water. But sometimes 4-0 and lacquer thinner works very well too.

I know it isn't recent, but it is the only one I have and it could get someone on the path. I would like a newer version and will keep looking. The article in Mil. Veh. is a really good one.

Back on your saturated Brake shoes, old mechanic trick. Get some really hot soapy water, scrub the daylights out of them, and let dry. This should take the offending fluid out of them. Although thinking about it, not sure how it will work with DOT 5 as it is more water resistant, but the soap...

There has to be something newer out there, but TB 43-0209, OCT 1976, which superseded TB 746-93-1, OCT 1964. These are color, marking, and camouflage Technical Bulletins. Also OCT 2003 of Military Vehicles Magazine has a great article on the Vehicle Markings. Good luck.

Looks like someone went a bit wild with the tan background. You have a Field artillery truck.

That is a very interesting trailer. What is it set up for? Am also curious about the landing legs positioned on the back.
