YES! The spin on oil filter conversions make life (oil changes) so much easier, and cleaner.

There is some truth to this popular mechanics story. The AN-225 was developed because Russia didn't have a large commercial airliner to transport the Buran. NASA used the 747 to transport the space shuttle, and it worked quite well. Here is the 2nd AN-225 still in the hangar. I hope one day this...

The AN-225 with the Buran Space Shuttle. There is a second AN-225, that is still sitting in the production line, after production stopped decades ago.

Not at all, you have a nice clean truck. When the flag drops, campaign like there's no tomorrow.

The Burma Jeep is still there. There is an Orange/Red 59 El Camino across town in a drive way, hasn't moved in years.

The XB-39, the Allison V3420 powered Superfortress.

Love the inertia starter, I remember when I was a kid, seeing an Allison V-1710 engine start with an inertia starter. By the way, what engines are in your Federal...
