    1941 K18-C GMC Recovered today

    Thank you for the ol' "Pick yourself up by the bootstraps," talkin' to, Sir. I needed to pull myself together and get back in the fight. The pity party is officially over. And, thanks to some 10-year-old babyfaced kid, we'll all be enjoying great movies on R&R in no time. That goes to show...

Only a few of your "best bud's" are "good enough" to be included in your inner...

    But wouldn't you first have to similarly activate the BRAKE LIGHTS to indicate you've STOPPED to activate your TURN SIGNALS ?!?!? Did they use this stuff back in 1941???

    Hmmm..do you like low flying aircraft?....then here ya go!

    They are QUITE actively flying. Just not form many state-side bases so you've got to be in the right place at the right time for a sighting.

    Looks like FIRE SUPPRESSION FOAM discharge. Cannot presume whether a test, or an actuated triggering by either heat/flame detectors or PANIC BUTTON being pressed. Either way, foam is far more effective than water sprinkler systems.

    Deuce towing capability

    NOPE! Don't see one in that pic at all. What we do see is a LUNETTE RINGon the front of that fine lookin' ammo trailer. Look at it like you might look at human genitalia.... The (MALE) PINTLE HOOK is on the powerful, masculine TOW VEHICLE (and it happens to resemble a HOOK-shape for easy...

    I agree, he didn't want to panic the passenger in the cabin seating area, but he was more likely calculating the chances of the stowaway kitty clawing the occupants or maybe even seeking shelter in the back of the tail boom, becoming entangled in the control cables and/or potentially upsetting...
