Holy strong bows Batman!

[emmado22]

This is the F-16 carrying M35A2 version.. The bows are VERY strong...

This version was used for the tactical deployment of F-16 fighters in rough terrain conditions. The program was scrapped when a deuce driver was killed when he forgot to pull the release handle to let the F-16 go during a launch.

Sorry....... just couldnt resist.....

That's a fantastic shot!

Looks nice but I wonder if he wrapped the winch cable too far and so replaced the upper strap with C Channel? Looks like the drivers seat has seen a bit of flatulance too but I would have done more than that if the F16 got that close to me driving down the road.

Actually , what happened there was the jet had landing gear problems and the duece rode the runway as he was coming in for the landing and caught the jet. He had overdrive in the M35A2, so they were able to syncronize their speeds perfectly.

Actually this was the second pass for the deuce. They first had to extract the wing gunner.

Awesome truck. I've seen pics of the M938 Lacrosse Missile launcher before, but this is the first time I've heard of a F-16 jet launcher. I wonder if they install special heat resistant glass in the windshield? David Doyle, where are you? We need more info on that M35A2 variant. Do you have it included in your latest "Standard Category of US Military Vehicles" manual?

It IS fun to throw an occasional chuckle here and there. Helps break the monotony of the typical "what part number do I need to replace this part" posting.

You might be a red neck If : You have ever posed as a "wing gunner" on a fighter jet !

The seller is not a member but I do know him and have seen the truck. Worst thing I remember is some rust around the cowl but he fixed that. I think I might have a pic of it when it was at DRMO. Yup, here it is! Matter of fact, the troop seats and front bumper came from my collection of junk.

The front tires seem to suck though!

Wonder how many magazines that "Wing Gunner" dropped trying to reload while in flight?

I suspect there's something wrong with you guys.................
