The FA 18 were cool but "Fat Albert" C-130 was real neat to see how versatile that aircraft was with steep ascent, steep descent, and reverse pitching the props to short stop! That was cool. I had a chance to fly in a B-25 Mitchell but I didnt want to see 3 sad Lil girls watch dad take off and not get to go too...

Did they do a JATO takeoff?

It's impressive to see a C-130 take off like a fighter jet. That air frame will sure take some punishment. Got a lot of respect for that aircraft. Especially an AC-130 Specter

No they didn't do that. Website said they are out of cylinders!

BTW I believe that Fat Albert is piloted by a lady now.

Question for the Stihl heads in the crew:
Do the intake boot get a tin sleeve inside like a Farm Boss type or not.
View attachment 423852

Don't remember there being one there but I bet I'm not the first person inside this thing.

And: where on the engine did the ground wire from the 'switch' attach. That was missing also.

Thanks fellas!

Yes Carl.. Should get a metal ring.

Crap! So close to firing the little pup up!

Got to make a kill switch ground anyway.

Sonic boom.

Wait until you're on a Kayak floating around drinking a beer catching some sun and fish on the Current River, then boom you're wet.............and it's not because you fell in the water. Loud enough the water ripples and your ass ingests half the seat.

Sonic boom.

I had one sonic boom in 1989 in ear shot of my apartment, I lived close to McConnell air force base in Wichita ...... that's what the apartment manager claimed. It shook me awake, or something did . I did see lots of jets and stuff flying around off my balcony of my apartment........

I have never seen a picture of a sonic boom before.......... neat stuff

Would an 017 have the boot support ring like the 028?
I have two parts carcasses of those.


I may just pull them apart to salvage the freakin' screws they get a dollar apiece for!! Yikes!
