Big load! Never seen an AnTar before. Any details? I R newbee, I not know weird trucks.....:oops:

Lucky people. The only part of a 53 (or Huey) that ever survives a fire is the rotor and engine guts. Everything burns or melts. My avatar is us taking off from Yuma I took the picture) on our way out to the range to play...er..exercise. What year was that?

Nice pictures....things have definitely changed in 25 years! Differences...365 used to be HMH 365, used to be CH-53As and Ds, No armor for the Marines, just flak vests, helmets were steel and we still wore cammies. Other than that, same crappy desert.

I heard about that one. There's supposed to be 12 hours bottle to throttle, ESPECIALLY at WTI. I'll admit I blasted off a couple times a little under the weather, but my BAC was always as closs to zero as you can get. I know 0311, but I don't recognize the other two. Mine were 6113 and when...

Ahh, good to here nothings changed at the stumps. Iwo Yuma (as we called it) and WTI. Loved every FREAKING minute of it! Hanging out the back window of a CH-53A searching for A-4s, F-4, A-7s or whatever else wanted to play, bouncing all over the place, .50s out the windows eliminating...

My only landing with an N was at Dover in the back of a C-5. Talk about BIG! 29 stumps, nothing there I ever want to go back for. One deployment there...too hot, sand in everything and them **** rats in everything! El Toro was nice. They didn't let us play there very often. Hated seeing us...

Sorry for the dumb question but what does CARC stand for?:confused:

Top, I was one of those Crew Chiefs only in HMH-772 Det A, also known as HMH-769. They didn't let us fly very often, but I have got a couple hours in a CH-53A. Looks like you entered the same year I did. MCRD SD, Platoon 2088, BHC at Millington in Feb of '82. Rotors and related at Tustin...

Slick, sorry, I'm a helicopter guy. A slick is just yer basic everyday stuff hauler. Anything else gets a moniker, for example: fueler, wrecker, water truck, etc.

Probably a dumb question but where in the world do you pick up a HMMMT? Funnest driving truck EVER.. My license was for the refueler, so a slick hass got to be 100% more fun!:mrgreen::mrgreen::mrgreen:

Hmmm, new terrorist deterent, may be? Realistically, every static display I've been involved with (lots and lots), appearance is the whole reason for it being there. If the bugs take over (especially the stinging ones) that's a hazardous situation. If not fixed, someone who is alergic to the...

Refueled both my deuces today. About a 20 mile round trip. Checked all the hubs at both the truck stop and at the house. No difference between any of the hubs. As a standard for hub overheat, I had a 1990 one ton Chevy for 4 years or so. One day one of the hubs had bearings going bad. I...

Very nice. May I ask what the decking cost you? Did you cut it your self? If you did, what kind of blade, assuming it was a table saw? [thumbzup]

Hmmm, There's one of these on the local base. Been wondering what it was for litterally years. Sorry, pics are NOT allowed. Vehicle does not run and is used for what appears to be static display. Great job getting yours running!:beer:

I can only come up with two word for these folks...Nucking Futz!

And those weird tail pipes that shot the exhaust up into the rotors. Long story short, I had a project that involved 6 former NG and AR Hueys. 5 were H's and one was a Victor. I didn't know what the funky pipe was for then, now I now know it's for IR suppression or some such thing.

srodocker, easy way to tell: back windows, if two is a D model or H model. Single window makes it any one of the following: A, B, C, E, F, K, L, P models. Basically they are two models, Bell model 205 has two windows and Bell model 204 has one window. Doubt it'll be any other models, i.e., N...

Don't let that stop you! Drive and have fun, swivel neck is a beneficial condition. There I was, stopped on Pershing Ave..minding my own business when wham! Toyota climes under my pickup. How do you miss a dually Chevy? Still drive the truck (they fixed irt for me), not stopping driving.

No kidding...pontiac grand am vs 13,000 lds of Deuce. fortumately self preservation on my part kept it from becoming a monster truch show

I'd say grab it. Give it a hard look over and see if you can test drive. If it passes muster why not?
