    new owner of a m448

    In my humble opinion: Bearings and the condition of the tires would be MAJOR "NO FLY" inspection items. To risk the failure of any could be CATASTROPHIC and the subsequent LIABILITY SUIT should anyone be a casualty of such failure far outweigh the "joy" of dragging it home, being CHEAP, or...

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

    Jim, THANKS for posting that up. I fully agree - this story DOES belong right here in this thread! You reminded me a an encounter I had with an Air Force fighter pilot along a desolate interstate highway - circa 1976. I'll try to remember to retell that story later today when time permits. Be...

    Newly purchased an M35A2 - trailer/towbar? Houston Area

    The lighter tow vehicle will be DOMINATED by the heavier towed vehicle on a tow bar. And steering forces applied by the tow vehicle will be overridden by the heavy front end of the begrudging Deuce, thereby easily pushing the tail end of the civilian pickup into a dangerous and unforgiving...

    M936a1 and driveways?

    PLEASE stay on topic. This thread is about parking heavy vehicles on concrete driveways. Please create another thread for the off-topic discussion being conducted here. :rules::derailed::rules: Thank you.

    HANGAR 25 AIR MUSEUM - Big Spring, Texas - May 29, 2018

    Indeed you ought to! I highly recommend it for anyone "in the neighborhood" during planned travels and well worth the trip for anyone who needs an aviation destination to justify a multi-stop trip.

    MVPA Convention (2018) - Louisville, KY

    I agree - That FC Jeep Ambulance is a gem. And the fact that is was US NAVY would seem to make it an even more rare bird! I too have coveted owning a Jeep FC of any model or year, but the pick-up version would be my honest "choice". I recall an FC Pick-Up from my youth that was equipped with a...

    Brian, I've sent a PM. And since this is also out in the open forum..... Apology FULLY accepted. Forgiven and forgotten, brother! Though your insight into the aviation-world's perspective was just as informative as the original topic. Thanks for sharing it. John
