The data-base of tail numbers is over here and I was hunting for a N7XXCH or a N7 blurry blurryCH. The S-61N list is impressive. https://www.airport-data.com/search/search2.html?field=model&search=Search&code=Sikorsky%20S-61N It's a good place to grab tail numbers...

Is that tail number N905CH? Nice paint. https://www.airteamimages.com/sikorsky-s-61_N905CH_columbia-helicopters_251016_large.html Same tail number, different paint scheme. https://www.planespotters.net/photo/1115190/n905ch-construction-helicopters-sikorsky-s-61n-mkii Construction Helicopters...

I started shopping for a closed cab today........because of you. The nostalgia is one thing but the curves on the CCKW pull me in. When you get that truck done and suddenly there is a convoy behind you, it's just us trying to get a peak at it. The MVPA boys drive this Closed cab 40 miles to get...

If there was a prize for the coolest and maybe heaviest purchase of the year, it's yours. Congratulations, that's exciting. There's a fella up North here that has some stick and supply time with them so you have company....and an audience. I can't wait for pictures so can only imagine what...

The core of the OP Valour team is part of a "New Start" museum group with over 80 MV's between the various members. https://valourpark.org/ The hope is to continue preservation and build a place where the MV's can be stretched, maintained and shared with whatever segment of the population that...

Some stealth cam pics of supporters, vendors and MV visitors.

Some toys and things.

One of the boys knows some folks that needed to play some airsoft games with some other folks. The G749 farm is almost ideal for games and we had some visitors come stretch their legs. https://opvalour.com/ This promotional video shows some of the sites around the G749 farm and now you won't...

Was it anywhere near the Titanic? That will never happen to most of us. The ladies can't get us to vacuum. I thought this might be a rare occurrence but it happens. https://rennlist.com/forums/928-forum/488155-fuel-tank-imploded-not-catastrophic-2.html One fella took his tank in the shower...

Did you get any pics of those G506's? That's one truck on the list of 'shapes I want to touch with sand paper' before I can't move my arms. Does your child know you built her a graduation hall that you're going to use as a garage? BEautiful work brother, I can't wait to see more. We...

The search function here is funky but if you type in that magnifying glass in the right corner, "mkt-90 kitchen trailer" and hit search, you'll get 5 pages of all kinds of titles including yours. https://www.steelsoldiers.com/search/4874799/?q=mkt-90+kitchen+trailer&o=date Online, using...

I did this last week but got distracted by a marine, sorry. What's the scoop? Here's the scoop. It's basically 5 1/4" x 5 1/4" base with 3 3/4" height off the hood. This one is 3 pieces with the top/angled/sloped piece requiring a 7" long x 5 1/4" rectangle to allow for a 6 1/2" slope with a...

Oh man you found that NATO number, thank you. I can usually hunt that info down but the search terms, they are a changing, to quote Bob Dillon. I'm sure Mattech still has a few of those Southwind heaters around and the topic is interesting enough we will likely gather a heater collection for...

That's the first thing I did was grab a hose and flex it when I heard......careful. They actually seem ok. Imagine sticking your hose in a box 50 or 60 years ago and pulling it out only to find it's not rotten. Good times.

I need to unpack some more so I'll grab a tape measure. They'd likely cost more to ship than the steel price so let's bend some metal.

cmpMAN we miss you around here. I ran that number on the boxes and came up dry but they did say 2 1/2 ton on the box. I was with a Mattech at that moment and didn't want to say anything about the military labeling things wrong. I think I found a third style maybe you've seen this type. What is...

The G749 Preservation continues. If someone is building a winch I still have 6 mid-shaft guards for the PTO but parts for winches are hard to find.

It's interesting that they put two different kinds of drain taps in them. Consistently inconsistent. Some random parts hunting pics, I did find some 'spare' G749 Gerry Can holders still in the boxes if somebody is doing a resto resto resto project.

We went heater nuts today. These heaters are a little different than the ones in the TM's above. The outlet is smaller and it's not like the picture. Maybe we can pull up the CDN TM version off the box numbers. The pics,

That certainly shows how camo can be improved under the right conditions. A little taste of the color/line pattern showed up on a CDN M211 we had. The M37 was an original paint color trying to impersonate a Birch tree or mountain. The future of camo is going to be bizarre with screen/camera...
