    Hello from Pennsylvania

    Small world, isn't it. Funny thing.... I also learned to drive there. First street legal vehicle was a WWII Jeep with a snow plow on the front - although I was too young for a license yet. We did the sidewalks along the main street (Kearny Avenue) with it, while the Jeep J-10 plowed the...

    Steel Soldiers MV of the month November 2020

    Hello from Pennsylvania

    LOL I chose Texas upon my discharge from the USAF in 1979. Loved the winters in PA, but prefer the wide open spaces here. We were blessed to have a summer (and some weekends) place on Lake Silkworth (west of Nanticoke/Wilkes-Barre). Our home in Kearny, NJ was exactly 8 miles to-the-foot west...

    MV of the month nominations Nov 20

    Surely you jest! I have seen some very nice MV's that weigh in under 500 lbs.... typically those have but 2 wheels and not cab though. Any and all are welcome. The voters may choose to pass on anything they are not enthusiastic over. As I recall, the ground rules of this "combat" forbid...

    Only Surviving XB-70 Moved from Museum Hangar

    I was not as fortunate to have seen either of them in person. However, my father preferred that my toys and childhood experiences be more learning focused than idle time-killers. So, about the time of the tragic loss of the one XB-70 (I was about 8 or 9 years old) he bought an XB-70 model...

    MV of the month nominations Nov 20

    Reporting for duty, Sir! (subscribed) If called to combat (submitting an MV) I will protect and defend my nomination to the best of my ability... So help me God. Otherwise, I will lurk behind the lines in a "support role" as a voter rather than a candidate. Standing by, Sir.

    New Mexico members check in here!

    Although we used to have a secondary LZ in Alamogordo, NM, that is no longer the case. But as you head east, we are anchored in San Angelo, Texas.... 60 miles off I-10, 90 miles off I-20.... One of the largest cities in the nation more than 5 miles from the nearest interstate.... So, depending...
