Good grief, that looks like a heck of a trip!! I'll stick to driving M915s to Arizona in the summer, all I have to battle is the heat! Glad y'all are safe home. Looking forward to the details. Cheers

Keep in mind that the 939/939A1 have the same basic engine as the M813, the 939A2 has the 6CTA engine. Cheers

Yep, that was Jim. He restored his Stalwart from one that looked rather questionable to one that looked factory fresh. He also made some parts for my V100 restoration. Apart from being a good friend, he is a very talented guy! IF I ever swim the V (shiver, shiver, chicken noises...) I'll let...

Nice vehicle. If I ever manage to get up to visit JimK, maybe he'll take me "swimming" in his. I keep thinking how cool it would be to swim the V100, but just can't work up the nerve. They are nowhere near as capable as a Stalwart in the water though. Cheers

Why is the site stringing everything together into one run-on sentence today?? Cheers

Lots of aircraft get transported on trucks to rebuild facilities when they can't fly them there for whatever reason (moderate damage, etc). I see F-18s going down I-10 all the time when I drive out toward AZ/CA. Cheers

Ah, my alternate personality is doing it too... my "spaced out" post got all strung together. Cheers

Maybe your alternate personality is sneaking in and changing it before you post Tim... :) I agree, spaced out posts are SO much easier to read. The run-on ones I tend to get lost in the middle of and just go to the next topic. Cheers

I was only getting around 3.9mpg hauling Agazza's M146 out to Arizona, but then the 146 was completely loaded and has the aerodynamics of a barn, and I was battling those ferocious West Texas winds nose-on much of the way. Hauling the unladen M172 I got around 5.8mpg. Godspeed, we'll look...

Thanks Rob. Both my 931's flash all the time, I thought the control heads were bad (they seem to die rather easily). I'll have a wander through those plugs now. Cheers

For your homework assignment, check out the names Randy Cunningham, Steve Ritchie, and Robin Olds in regard to dogfighting the F-4, and Dick "Belly" Bellinger in the F-8. A good introductory book is "...And Kill Migs" by Lou Drendel. [thumbzup] Back to the SR-71 - I was lucky enough to see one...

I can't argue with the cold being a trigger - mine popped today as I was prepping a 931 for a recovery Friday. It was cold (by Texas standards) last night. It was fine when I ran the truck on Saturday. Cheers

You are really plugging along through this project! Looks great. Cheers

The basic dimensions of the S250/G shelter.. Cheers

You are correct. I have the brochure, the lettering on the tire can be seen to be backwards. Cheers

What a lovely, and lovingly written, obituary. He was a fine fellow, and a pleasure to talk to, albeit always remotely in my case. I am sorry I never met him in person. I am grateful we got to share a little bit of his life, he will be long remembered.

Here are Captain America and Captain America II, (pic 1 and 2 are the same machine) was either of these yours? All are reportedly from 1971, the info in the captions is what was associated with them on the internet. Cheers

Looks like a really cool restoration, I'm sure others would join me in liking to see the progress. [thumbzup] Just FYI, I didn't realize you had text at first, it seems to be dark grey and doesn't show up on the OD background at all, unless highlighted! Cheers

One nice modification made to Unimogs for Swiss service was breakers instead of those wretched pointy fuses.. Cheers

Blue Santa delivery day in Austin... :-( Catch y'all on the next one. Cheers
