Mike, the engine turning on the bar looks great!
What is the pitch/length/gauge? I will see if I have a new chain for you to give the recipient.
Let me know and I will bring one with me to the charity cut next weekend.

I feel like a little Mexican, maybe a chimichonga and a margarita!

I think I will take Brenda out for supper......later Fella's

Chet, 3/8 72dl .050 ga be sweet?

saw shockwave today in person. 3 Pratt & Whitney J34-48 turbine engines on a semi chassis. They said fuel consumption was 184
Gallon in 1500'. Sheesh!

We got to see the Blue Angles too! The sound of 5 FA-18's with afterburners engaged truly makes the hair stand up on the back of your neck.

bigtuna: This pants leg you sent is truly a wonderful invention. I can lay it across my legs and not get my jeans dirty when tinkering a powerhead.

???????
Workbench ?

Well it is crowded with crap. Besides, standing too much tends to make my hemroids bark.

We need something besides my tiny needle nose pliers to put the pin locks in the piston. Damn things drive me nuts.[emoji35]

What made my 'hair stand on end' is calling in four duce mortar rounds danger close.

And, the best aircraft for close in ground support was the piston prop driven A1E Skyraider in my limited experience. Phantom you instructed to hit an area. Skyraider to hit that fellow hiding behind that tree.

Mike, I will get on it. See you Friday!!

 

[jetmd]

Hegderow, you Sir are probably correct.

Took mother to Cracker Barrel last nite. Geezer restaurant. Rested on the way to the car.


I told her it was too dark but she don't listen.

And: Morning midlanders!

Very nice Mike! I love their sneak pass. Nothing like getting surprised by a full afterburner low level pass from behind.
We've got two airshows planned in the next month. I end up taking 800-1000 pics per show.

Morning Carl, Sawnami and crew.

Carl, you have my full respect. I would never want to be in a position to have to call in ground support. That would mean that you're pretty deep into the thick of the situation.

What was cool for me was to see the cockpit inside the CH-47 Foxtrot in which Rockwell does the avionics for and we are a supplier for Rockwell. I did recognize some components on the displays!!

There is a certain level of excitement when you see equipment in action/complete that you had a hand in building.

Brenda and I worked on the B1B program and every time we see one either static or in flight we are very proud of the work we did in the '80's.

A good friend of ours is a Bone pilot stationed currently at Elsworth.

Morning all Have fun and be safe . Sun is shining .

The most thrilling pass I've experienced was at Canon Range with a B-1b at 500 feet, Mach .95 and full afterburner after he dropped a 1000# inert bomb on a simulated runway. Forget live ordinance, that's all it would take for me to surrender.

That is the sound of freedom!
