    Trump plans to lift Obama-era ban on giving local police military equipment

    Some may not think a deuce or similar vehicle is not a 'weapon', however, ANY ITEM your Uncle Sam has ever required an EUC for the purchaser to take possession is, by your Uncle's definition A WEAPON of military grade and functionality that Uncle DOES NOT want in the hands of an 'enemy'...

    Trump plans to lift Obama-era ban on giving local police military equipment

    Although I was disappointed when the 1033 program was nixed and things like APC's were recalled to become range targets, our personal motor pool benefited from it's secondary impact - the fall-out from the 1033's discontinuance. Midland County (Texas) Sheriff's Department had to surrender its...

    Could I use a 5-ton for this?

    For loading and unloading without ramps nor a "dock", just back into a ditch. The tailgate of the truck will be close to, or in contact with, the other side of the ditch. - OR - practice... Practice... PRACTICE ! ! ! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dxjCK_dLPCA Carry on.

    Big Span Aircraft Models

    The B-29 was atop the minivan. The other way around would have damaged the RC Plane me thinks. Actually, the Caravan carrying the B-29 was spotted in PENNSYLVANIA about 5 years ago. Might have been an AMISH thing I suppose. LOL But, yes, EVERYTHING is BIGGER in TEXAS. I thought you knew...

    C45 Prop

    Don't need to spin it enough to RAISE THE ROOF, just enough for a comfortable breeze. Sure it's heavy, but you can either beef up the ceiling structure or simply use a smaller motor. Part 1: Samurai = CRAZED to the point of self-destruction...... Enough said. Part 2: Like Johnny Cash -...

    Big Span Aircraft Models

    I have seen RC Planes with up to 96" wingspans simple secured to rooftop carriers for transport. They are made for flight and the rigors of wind, WHY NOT? I have seen RC's with longer wing spans with reducible "width" wings (removable outboard sections) that could also be car-top transported so...

    Personal military truck negligence causes major accident.

    Do you have any additional information - Who, What, Where, When - that may help us harvest any news articles, televised reports, or internet chatter on this incident???? Inquiring MIMES want to know.

    Personal military truck negligence causes major accident.

    Fasten your seatbelts, boys and girls. The private ownership of formerly military vehicles is about to be targeted (righteously or not) due to one fool's indiscretion and the tragic effect that ensued. Lawyers, LEO's, and Legislators will outperform hungry LIONS on this one. Kevlar may offer...
