    enclosing an M816 operator gondola

    No, it worked the same but seemed a lot smaller, the biggest thing about it was the fuel can mount, we had a 246 with a non op. one, being that we took the cab off and in viet nam there was NO need to worry about it, I just remember what it looked like.

    enclosing an M816 operator gondola

    Why is this site so slow...???

    At times it is slow, think it depends on how many are trying to post at the same time, I may complain to the wife at times, all she says is "your old and slow so it is working at your speed", then I hit refresh and just continue.
