Mil vehicles on display are waved through to the field. Idle speed only. Depends on how short the time. Talk to the gate people. Stay a long time.

1942 WWII MarkVI Bomb Hoist
I'll have this available, all cleaned up. Very nice piece of machinery. Even more rare are the 2 scanned factory line drawings from 1941 that come with it along with some photos of them being used to load The Black Cats.
Also bumping my list with some edits:

It would be neat if the guys had badges with their avatars so we'd know each other. I've talked to at least 10 guys in the past couple of years and didn't know who they were until later. I usually post mine with my phone in the stall where I am most often.

I'm wondering if this solves the problem. From http://www.ppgpro.com/industrial/maintenance/

Just a couple weeks out of GL and the M116 Urchin Trailer leaving the USS Ling for work at the Bendix Diner on Route 17. The quickie camo job to cover the rust is best appreciated at 50 mph. At that spot, the orange triangle is an absolute must, esp. at night.
