[AC Designs]

I've actually lived in one for a year in Iraq. It's really not that bad. Had a phone, TV with cable and AC.

Must of been air force

Aint nothing wrong with the U.S. Air Force...HoooRah

 

[Obsessedderbydad]

I agree. Just saying

 

[Chief]

I agree. Just saying

Did you serve?

 

[Crash Enburn]

I agree w/ ODD. I grew up as an Army brat. A/C? Definitely Air Force.

 

[Obsessedderbydad]

Yes. C130 jet engine mechanic

 

[speed bump]

O d d I am a A&P mechanic and AI inspector on aircraft. Never served because I could not fly for the arm forces. I wear contacts they said no. Thank u to those who served !!!!!!

 

[B_Regal Racing]

And even more odd, I'm a pilot part of a club in which another member crashed our plane, although, we probably do not need an A&P, but more or a bulk trash removal company.

 

[speed bump]

Not to Bragg but I am commercial pilot to. Watch the crashes the sudden stops will get u. Glad u where ok

 

[B_Regal Racing]

See ya at Oshkosh then.

We need something like that for NPWDRL, or maybe "that" just happened at MA...

 

[Obsessedderbydad]

Your not bragging speed bump. I don't envy Ur job at all. There's a reason I was a mechanic and not a pilot /images/boards/smilies/smile.gif

 

[speed bump]

I will not b at Oshkosh this time. But look for the aeroshell team. Steve Gus. # 3 plane I work on it an annual it. It's here at my home town. Tell him keith said hello. Might could get u a ride if u want. Send me a pm on information.

Yes. C130 jet engine mechanic

The C-130 is a Turboprop plane. /images/boards/smilies/wave.gif

 

[quadad]

I thought C-130 = "trash hauler"

All planes are cool though !

 

[speed bump]

C-130 is turbo prop. It has Allison t 56 motors 4,590 shaft horse power. With the useful load of 72,00 lbs I would say a lot of trash it could haul.

 

[Rocket car]

See ya at Oshkosh then.

We need something like that for NPWDRL, or maybe "that" just happened at MA...

What's funny is I live 45mins (car ride) from the EAA and never been there. I love planes, but have nobody to go with. Maybe, we'll have to hook up.

 

[speed bump]

Rocket I will b flying up there next year. Will have to all get together. Flying my cub up there.

 

[B_Regal Racing]

We go every year. I used to fly there in either a Cherokee Six or Arrow, but after the kid was born, we have been driving. We meet about 20 to 30 people there each year, circle the wagons, and take up a "block." I usually take 3 weeks off, plus or minus a few days, and just eat, sleep, and lie about aviation. If you have not camped out in the field, you have not experienced it.

*** wow! we're way off topic ***
