It looks good.

Kind of funny. I thought it sounded familiar. I was already subscribed: https://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?190058-2019-Red-Ball-Military-Show-Swap-meet-Gilbert-Pa-Sept-27-28&p=2233702#post2233702

Oops. The link. for some reason, is a dead end.

Interesting to know, thanks rustystud. How did that help them keep their contracts?

Is there an active thread on SS about that?

Hmmm, who knew, evidently there's a story there. But if we go there, we'll be drifting, right?

Thought occurred to me once while waiting for take-off, and looking at all the planes on the deck around our flight: They are nothing more than lengths of pipe, in a way, but just with airfoils added where needed.

Quick story: - One of the Carrolls was a signer of the Declaration of Independence - The family donated the land for the newborn nation's Capitol Building (Capitol Hill was a Carroll landholding, they "donated" it to the nation) - I met a Carroll once, nice guy, but CLEARLY considered himself...

Suggestion: - Band together and work But work HARD. Fighting leads to casualties, on both sides.

Welcome for sure then from up here in Virginia.

I figure it doesn't count as a "derail" until somebody complains: - THEN we are obliged to get back on track Until that moment we can jawbone as buddies together all we want. :beer:

That's normal, right? So that's maybe why the requirements sometimes seem stupid (maybe the redundancies help offset the mistakes). All I know is if I'm piloting a heavier-than-air craft, I sure don't want to hear that any mechanic said "oops", after I'm already airborne!!!

Welcome from Virginia What kind of fabricating do you do, metalwork?

Great find. Where did you get that?

How did you muscle all that around your shop: - Do you have an overhead crane?!

If I was a pilot, I believe I would SURE appreciate all the back-checks and rule-following by every mechanic and inspector who worked my aircraft. You bet!

Piece of cake. Great!

Can't pull off the trip this year, but sure would like to make the trip next year (God willing and all). How long is the drive (+/-) to Graves Mountain from Madison (off Rte 15/29)?

Hearing stories here in the U.S. There's talk of a new citizenship status for Americans to be called "A-1" for those who demonstrate fluency in Russian. It'll give you: - TSA boarding priority for all airline travel - an annual $500 federal tax credit, and - free refills on any drink...

Great pics, plowboy, thanks! That Micro-Willys just might be my favorite. :jumpin:
