They wanted orange smoke, but it was cost prohibitive and clashed with the blue sky in the background. OK - all kidding aside.... I believe you are correct. EIGHT early evolution jets were now nearly as clean-burning and efficient as their subsequent generational descendants.

Another thought would be to simply buy/borrow/use a DOLLY. Hitch the dolly to the Pintle Hook, back the Dolly's Fifth-Wheel under your "new" trailer, connect air and power, and pull away. No fuss. No muss.

THAT MV would certainly qualify for the MV SPOTTED Thread ! :goodjob:
