    Museum Huey Project Atoka TN

    One of my coworkers, a Marine pilot, said he flew UH-1Es in HT-18 (Helicopter Training Squadon 18 and they got rid of them in 1983. Which makes sense since we were told its last active duty unit was the aircraft tech training school in Millington TN 1983-1993. The QL apparently is for HML-777...

    Rebuilt M1009 Drive Shaft to Long

    This was retubed and balanced w new front end that goes into trans replaced too for $258. Without the front replaced it would have been $154. I measured and max distance w old yoke in trans is abt 30 1/2. So 29 1/2 may be correct. Guess I should of measured it prior to dropping it off.

    M1009 front brake lock up odyssey

    Vehicle took 3-5 more mph to shift for the last 6 months. Could not figure out why. Then recently developed a slight vibration now and then that came and went out.
