I got there in '75. It was the West Coast Navy Fighter Squadron base. Mira Mesa, CA butts up against the northern side of the base and I-15 runs along the east side. The runway ran east to west and they almost always took off towards the west to head out over the beach to the AO. I am almost...

That is very nice work and I have a question. Is that scene inspired by a particular event? If so, when and where?

Masseyh, Well, according to your dates the tractor was at Miramar the time as me. Unfortunately I have no contacts at the base. It went from an NAS to an MCAS and the Marines only let me on the base once (I think out of pity) right before 9/11. Haven't been back since.

Thanks Jimk This thread has never let the facts get in the way of an uninformed persons argument.

Condolences to his family and may he rest in peace.

I always liked the fact that F4s and B52s always had their own smoke screen with them. :-)

I don't have to take your word for it. Interstate 71 coming back from KY last Sunday gave me all the action I could handle with my wife riding back next to me. ;-)

I have spent a lot of time working on the F4s but I can't remember how to jack the thing up. I think it had a hard point under each wing and on the bottom of the fuselage right behind the front landing gear. Maybe these guys can help with information. There are lots of F4s still flying and...

Welcome aboard. Another SS member in Lancaster, oh boy.

Talk's cheap. I'd like to see you go down there and start something with him big boy. ;-)

Being former Navy I'd be interested in knowing types of aircraft. Pics please or at least model numbers.

Good looking tractor but what caught my eye was that it was stationed at Miramar and so was I. Any idea when it was there?

Welcome to the site. ;-)

I didn't read Wisconsin anywhere in his post..........

Cool looking MV and welcome to the site from Ohio (USA).

Having been the first to welcome her in this thread I would like to bring it back something closely resembling MV related. GIP, why do you want a 915? I like the 915 even though it isn't 6x6. I like the fact that it's big, has power steering, it's a tractor and oh yeah, has the Cummins 400 in...

Funny, I thought you realized I was the source of the totes. Some of the totes were picked up by the owners themselves at the rally but some were taken back by other members for SS members who had asked me for them. I have two freshly cleaned ones at the house right now that are yours for...

I guess the guys were lucky at Haspin then because the ones I sold went to Wisconsin, South Carolina and Florida. None of them stayed within 500 miles of my place. The tanks were cleaned the morning I picked them up and they are all food grade so no worries about chemicals. I have 14 feet...

That's okay, Ferro forgot as well. :-)

I agree with Gimp. (Not usually) I doubt very much whether all these fancy mods will allow the truck to go anywhere I've seen Gimp take his truck and I'd wager that the modded truck would get in the same places.
