Some time in the early 90's I saw photos of a USAF SOF display at Hurlburt showing CSAR/PJ gear including a RATT and some kind of small motorcycle. I think it was a Yamaha and it was Minicycle or even minibike size. It was definitly two wheel, not more. Anyone know what I'm recalling?

Here's some VW Iltis "FAVs", not the Bundeswehr Super Stallion in the background. They can carry two vehicles each.

The FAV concept using Mutts filled an interim need for mobility from a helicopter, either CH-47 or Super Stallion depending upon the service. Some were weapons platforms, others medivac. They referred to them as FAV for moral purposes. The German and Belgian armies did the same thing using the...

The term used was "plummet" not "drop". Big difference.

wreckerman, You are suggesting the value of a Sherman would plummet if m-88's were released to the public? Or for that matter, a 1928 Thompson if M-2HBs were sold off?

I love it when someone throws out "the Government" this or that. There is NOTHING restricted about owning armor in this country. You can buy a Sherman, or Scorpion, or brand new Level IX Mercedes SL-500. It is nonsense to state otherwise. As stated, it takes little to do it yourself, too...

It is what's left of a heat guard.

Hey Lonesome715, You owe me big time now dude. Took me forever to track down a declassified photo like this: USAF SOF used Kawasaki KLT-250's in the mid 80's, around 83-88. Forward air controlers mostly, not PJs.

Wow, what a great time you guys had. Neat pics too.

Unless you are planning on robbing a bank, why bother?

Yeah, and Polaris is a big waste of money. You're paying for the name. It doesn't do anything a new Garmin or Magellan won't do. For that matter, my iPhone does 90% of it, plus 75,000 other programs.

I don't know...still looks maybe Photoshopped. The legend continues....

Going to burger drive-ins like Sonic is a lot more fun than groceries. The drivers hatch makes for a great tray and it does fit under the awning, just barely. Going to the dog park is fun, too.

Very good site. Adding one, a Magach 7 that took a wrong turn.

While at least a few M-706E1's had Miniguns mounted in their turret, such as "Feelin' Groovy", there is now evidence of top mounted Miniguns, too. This You Tube Gun Truck footage has one at the range shooting at 8:33. Pretty cool footage of a lot of famous Gun Truck. Great range footage for sure.

Been there, done that. Its all well worth doing it right in the end. Otherwise, it just eats at you.

Is your front panel, the radiator cover panel new? If so, that is the exact material and thickness used for the side panels. It is foam-filled fiberglass and very common in the marine world. Used a lot for cabins and internal partitions on all kinds of boats. If you need a new radiator cover...

Indeed, the work of an artist. I must coin a new term to describe it. "Ferociously Awesome!!"

Why not plywood? For starters, its not original, and that is obviously the goal here. Second, it sits about 2 inches from the exhaust manifold. Third, it's heavier than the original panels and a pain to move in and out.

Plywood? You can't use plywood. Contact these guys; they should be able to help you out real stuff: Home
