Love to come to one, hope life treats me well next few months so I can attend this time and afford the fuel...

No worries - the USAF plans to keep the B-52H in service until the early 2040s, making the youngest of the fleet 80 years old. Gotta luva BUFF.

Sand people.

This is normal - the government gets first dibs on auction items. Heck, there were a few times GL sold something, we picked it up and had it for a few weeks, and THEN the military demanded it back. You get a refund for your bid in that case, but it's still the way things are. Remember, the...

I took that pic, I have the owner's name around here somewhere, I'll see if I can dig it up.

The antenna would be the AS-3900. Hand microphone H-250 or H-350. Speaker is LS-671. Tha cables and RF amp I am not familiar with. But hope what I gave you helps.

Not sure what type of ammo cans you want me to pick up, but I'll have a ton of .50 cal cans here this coming week.

I need two spaces, same as last time. PM sent. Thanks, Dudley....

Stretch made a set of ramps for his CJ2A and his deuce, out of both rails of a school bus frame.

Noone?

I may have to make a trip up to the NYC area this Friday - depending how I work the trip I might be able to stop in on my way back down.

And you're going to want to talk to a gent on here known as "cranetruck" - he owns one and has restored it completely. The truck, not the missile.

I think he's referring to the M757-based 8x8 trucks. Some were used as Pershing missile transporters and erectors. The tires are not 6 feet tall, maybe 4 feet, but time messes with people's recollections. Here's a pic of one doing it's duty in Germany...

Some have made the earlier M38 and CJ-2A/CJ-3A jeeps into WWII-wannabes. But even that is a bit ambitious and expensive. My opinion, wait for a real one, it will be less headache in the long run.

I noticed on the older M116 trailers (the 3/4-ton trailers used with gensets), there are stave pockets on the sides to install the staves and bows to allow a vinyl cover to be placed over the cargo area. I am looking at a M116 trailer, one of the newer types, doesn't seem to have any pockets on...

Wait a minute....THERE'S INTERNET ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE WORLD?!?!?

Your wife, does she happen to have a younger, unmarried sister? All joking aside, you know how RARE that is in a wife? You are a lucky man.

BTT for the new guys who have done some neat builds....

Wish I had seen this earlier, I just went up to Colemans on 12/3.

Anyone know what the regs are for Virginia? I'd like to snag a M923/925 at the prices they are going for, don't intend to haul a semi trailer or anything except pintle-hitched trailers behind it, don't know what things are like here , especially if I plan on using Vintage/Historic tags like I...
