    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    If a man does not keep pace with his companions, perhaps it is because he hears a different drummer. Let him step to the music which he hears, however measured or far away. - Henry David Thoreau

    B-29 "Doc" Awarded New Airworthiness Certificate

    OOPS - my bad. (I'll blame the cataract that's been clouding my "good" eye. VA Appointment on Tuesday to consult on a new lens.) I mis-read the B-24 os B-29. . . . . SORRY.

    B-29 "Doc" Awarded New Airworthiness Certificate

    YES ! There are now TWO flying B-29's. FIFI has been in the air for a while now. DOC's restoration was completed much more recently. And THIS THREAD is all about DOC being issued a fresh AIRWORTHINESS CERTIFICATE. That means that she is not longer flying under the "experimental" rules, but is...

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

    A "Butt-Puckering" Approach.... Sure to tight some nuts 757 landing Tegucigalpa https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I-B4QCb2NhI THIS is why passengers don't get to watch out the cockpit windows. The OH-POOP factor would cause too many to have heart attacks.

    lost the button from the hydraulic head

    I appreciate that advice. The HH is already disassembled - the clip that holds the button in place failed. The button was subsequently damaged while if flopped around inside the housing. HENCE, while it's all tron down, I'd like to install a fresh button.

    lost the button from the hydraulic head

    I've been re-reading HH and BUTTON threads - as time permits - and have not yet located the PART NUMBER for the Button, nor a current Source to buy one/some/bulk. Any help would be appreciated. It's about time I get the Deuce operational again. Thanks!

    "Categories of Risk", or "When Everything is Emphasized Nothing is Emphasized"

    Known hazards are easy. It's those "unknown", unforeseen little "MURPHY" baskards that will sneak up and bite you in the arse every time. Murphy NEVER sleeps...... But neither does GOD - So pray and pray hard for HIS protection.

    "Categories of Risk", or "When Everything is Emphasized Nothing is Emphasized"

    Did I miss something? No. I just scrolled back and re-read the WHOLE thread. And again, I musta missed it. Surely it's there. But I just cannot see it. WHERE IS THE WARNING LABEL ON THIS THREAD ?!?!?!? Somebody's gonna get hurt around here.

    LOL - Wasn't joking! I have been in quite a few of those places that don't exist myself. "Never saw it. Never happened." and... That's my story and I'm sticking to it. The now infamous NSA stood for No Such Agency back when I was assigned to it. Only since its now wide-spread publicity can I...

    No, Sir, not in any more trouble (right now). I was referring to the SECRET storage facilities and any discussion of them "self-destructing" to maintain their secrecy. As for the ME-262 - I've read much on it's flight characteristics. She wasn't the most aerobatic bird in the air. That's why...

    Ah yes! The Goobermint has lots of those BIG HANGERS, MASSIVE UNMARKED WAREHOUSES and even some HOLLOW MOUNTAINS that "don't exist". Even Hollywood knows all about them..... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FRP0MBNoieY "This forum will self destruct in 10 seconds."
