She’s an old one that’s for sure. Another oldie but goody is the venerable UH-1. Updated, upgraded, and rebuilt more times than are fully imagined, still flying after 63 years. And them old warhorses will be still in the air at least for another 10 years. Now if I could only find one to restore...

Well I done got one over for them know-it-all’s. Still got my military drivers license! I even still have my Hemmit refueler license! For security reasons, I can’t take a picture of them.

I’ll be showing him at the Fort DA Russell Days at FE Warren AFB, And I’ll be driving in all four CFD parades. I was contacted by the air show folks as well. If I recall correctly, the air show is on the Wednesday of CFD.

A long time time ago while still serving in the Marine Corps, we had this phenomenal task of diving the fuel tanks. On the CH-53 there are two large circular panels that provide access to the main tanks. One removes the outer cover, then the inner cover and finally verify none to very little...

Been a while since last update and I’ve been busy. Paint removal (white and red paint) by sand blasting and paint stripper. I got some citrus type paint stripper, good stuff. Very little smell and does a pretty good job cleaning up large parts. Unfortunately, I doubt I’ll be making it to any...

I’d like to introduce the War Wagon. A 1970 M35A2 with winch built as a tribute/replica of a Vietnam War gun truck. Her armaments include: 3 replica .50 M2 machine guns, one replica M-60 machine gun, one replica M16A1 rifle, several dummy “lemon” grenades and some inert smoke grenades. One of...

. My 1972 M35A2’s have the twist type e-brake handle. My 1970 M35A2 has the whale tale. Not sure what the 211’s have. IIRC, the 1953 M59 has a whale tale as does the 1973 M52A2.

. That thing is freaking awesome!!! :drool::drool:

I’ve got some oddball parts that I’m trying to identify. I’m really not sure what type vehicle they belong too. No part numbers have been found on these thing-a-mah-jigs. One is a drive shaft off something and the little doohickeys look like they help attach a dip stick in place. Perhaps you May...

Been busy doing a long list of honey do’s. Not getting done what I want to accomplish but stuff’s getting done. I finally caved in and used some paint stripper. It would have taken an entire bag of sand blast media to clean just one fender. It’s not as bad as I feared as far as smell and...

. ROFLMAO!! (Smililies ain’t working for some reason)

I found one stash (7 each) of the A1 lug bolts. I know I have more. Just have to find them again... here’s what I’ve got so far, assuming that these are the A1 lug nuts.

I’ll dig around and see what I can find.

Yes, they are. I believe you are correct. I also have a number of the A1 type. Thanks!

I have a bag of “M151A2” lug nuts or that’s what the bag says. Can anyone verify that? Pics below:

I was inspecting the wiper motors and there’s was what appeared to be some kind of insulation surrounding the driver side motor. I pulled on a piece and a bit of animal fur was attached. So, off with the entire panel. There was a nest, not sure what type of critter made it. Included in the nest...

Videos like that make me miss the good old days. I worked on UH-1N’s primarily but have some time working on the H model and F model. I also worked on H-3’s, H-53’s and H-60’s. Then Hiller’s were good birds. They were primarily an Army aircraft. I served in the Marine Corps and Air Force. If I...
