    Alaska to Alabama in Brutus

    That's going to be an awesome road trip. If you are coming to Rucker for flight school and go through the Blackhawk or Chinook tracks you will probably see me in Warrior Hall North Bay when you do your simulator time. Good luck on your trip and welcome to Lower Alabama.

    Uses for Deuces

    Scrap run from Sim Bay Adrian A our High bay has space for 20 of those simulators and there is only 1 space open. The roll up door in front of my Deuce is 16'X20' the ceiling is at 40' floor is 120'X600' so yes it does make a 13000 lb truck look small.

    Scrap Metal Run I thought I had posted this but didn't see it, but it was a scrap run of parts removed from Flight Simulators being upgraded to full motion from instrument (non motion) simulators at Warrior Hall in Daleville AL. The Simulator in the pic is a UH60A Blackhawk.

    What did you do to your deuce this week?
