I want to see the landing video of that float plane!

I don't remember off the top of my head, but the next time I am out that way I will check it out for you.

I just did this step a couple days ago as well. The instructions for the M101 trailers say to plug in the taillights (brown wire for 4 flat) into plug #21, but the M1101 has plug #23 instead that is the taillight plug. I also replaced the HMMWV tires for 245/75/R16 tires and wheels and it...

So, I have paid for and picked up my M1101 and it did not have an EUC requirement. Who is this affecting? Only recent purchases waiting on an EUC?

Anyway, It has 6127 hours and looks pretty beat up. There is a note with it saying that "the engine is worn out, excessive crank case pressure, low oil pressure. Recommend replacement."

So I went to recover a M1101 trailer that I won, and in the back was a Cummins 7.5 HDKAT/41934 diesel generator! The GL guy came over and asked if I had any goodies in the back and said it was part of the lot. Lucky me! It has a flat dark earth paint scheme on it and was in several pieces in the...

At least he had a tarp over some of it!

Its only a wing... that's why they have two, right? redundancy? Really though that is some good piloting, and great engineering!

I have better pictures somewhere that really identifies it as a p-5. The back half of it that covers the engine is partly up on the rocks, and further down the beach. I'm sure that 30 or 40 years worth of winter storms made it look pretty beat up like it is. I remember the last time I visited it...

Thanks for the info guys, I've got lots of new places to search now! I'm not entirely sure its a USMC vehicle, but it is very hard to tell from the shape it is in. ImageShack® - Online Photo and Video Hosting I have more pictures somewhere...

I guess not... anywho, there is the hull of one wrecked on a beach on Kodiak Island. I was just curious as to how it got there, I haven't tried the museum yet but that's where I'm headed next.

^^ Pretty much sums it up. He should really get a friggin medal for trying to help!

Does anybody know anything about the LVTP-5 that isn't on wikipedia already? Specifically, does anybody know about LVTP-5 operations in Alaska, or anything related to this?

Lucky! The Collins Foundation planes came near me when I was 10 or so. I got a T-shirt but wasn't lucky enough to catch a ride. Someday though.....

I did see several pallets of water pumps on GL....[thumbzup]

You know, there is a certain "Bay" that people sometimes dump weasels into, if you know what i mean. It might be cheaper and easier, but of course that would take all of the fun out of it. What you need is a Diving Bell so you can host a couple of divers down at the weasel for days at a time...

Just the other day i saw, no joke, a mini cooper pulling a camper. :???: It wasn't a pop up camper, but a single axle type. I just wish i had gotten a picture of it!

flyusn99, I think i would rather just get the CDL to be safe, but definitely use the "pick up" body style on registration to keep it on the cheap. On second thought i might just look into getting a smaller truck as well. EMD567, Not sure, i may have to take a look though. I saw a ratty...

I'm sure its here somewhere already posted, but what are some good things to look for and to check when you are previewing? Also, what are good things to bring with you on a recovery? Any good stories would help too!

Perfect, thanks!
