    SPRUCE GOOSE: She Flew ONCE, 69 Years Ago Today!

    Had the opportunity to go through her in Oregon while I was up there. I was ready to head for home when Dave/HellonwheelsV100 blithely mentioned "You know the Goose is only a short distance from here in the Evergreen Museum...." So, got home a couple of days later than planned. I've flown in...

    What are these for?

    Here's one in service that shows why the lights need to be moved. Interestingly, the S-788 I just picked up for my trailer has the lights mounted on the back of the shelter, so I didn't need to try to find the light relocation kit. Cheers

    Big Bend NP Get Together?

    At Big Bend, a lot depends on what week/weekend you go. Last time I was down there, we were tripping over people for the first two days, on the third day we were suddenly about the only ones around, lasted for the rest of the time we were there. Hopefully my vinegaroon magnetism has worn off...

    M35a2 - Did not serve - Is painting with military colors disrespectful

    Okay, I'm a Marine veteran. There is no way on this earth I would be offended by you restoring your vehicle to it's military colours. I would, in fact, commend you for it! Unless you added something intentionally rude like "I hate America" on it, but that certainly does not seem to be your...

    Steel Soldiers MV of the month 2016 - October VOTE HERE!

    I quit voting in these a while back because I dislike having to choose between so many outstanding vehicles, and because I didn't like the way some people played. But I have to get in this one, out of loyalty to a buddy, and also the sympathy thing on the boogered foot! Cheers

    What paint to use on exhaust/engine?

    The barbecue paint works well. Lasts a long time. Cheers

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

    Back in the barnstorming days, they commonly built structures on the airfields specifically for the aeroplanes to fly into. They were, obviously, built of very light weight materials rather tenuously held together. The planes were often destroyed too, and a few pilots due to miscalculation...

    Tell me more about the M813...Thinking about getting one, would like some info!

    I second Scar's comments, the 813 will NOT like 3-minute drives. Which for you will be 15+ minutes anyway, because of a minimum of 5 minutes idling before setting off, and 5 minutes idling before shutdown. And then bleeding the air to make sure there is no moisture in the tanks (particularly...

    My M813 and deuce. Gives a good idea of relative size. Cheers

    Tell me more about the M813...Thinking about getting one, would like some info!

    Gross weight refers to what the vehicle is capable of carrying, not what you personally actually carry. You're not going to legally get away from the CDL requirement (or Non-Commercial Class A, if your state has such an animal) with an M813. M813 is a fun vehicle to drive, mine gets 6+ mpg on...

    I was in TX But they let me go.

    Good seeing you today. As much time as we spent over that glass of tea, we could have gone ahead and had lunch! ;) Safe travels, my friend. Cheers
