New guy from PA

[Oblivionboyj]

Hello everybody
I really don't know all that much about these trucks, but find myself drawn to them.
I keep finding myself looking at the government auction sites staring at the duece and a halfs they have for auction over there.
I was looking around at pictures of them and came across the bobbed deuce and a half.
I am in love.
That is the coolest looking truck I have ever seen!
After researching the trucks and what they are capable of I have decided to bide my time, save my pennies, and get me a bobbed M35A2.
In the mean time I am going to lurk and learn.

In my real life I am a farmer by day and an inspector for Sikorsky Helicopter services at night.
I have a wife who doesn't look at me like I am crazy when I tell her I want one of these trucks, and a 10 year old boy who looks at me like I am crazy whenever I say anything.
I look forward to finding out what I can and hope to one day join the ranks of you MV owners.
Cheers all

Keystone MRO (at the airport) is owned by Sikorsky Aerospace services.
The big facility off of the airport is a production facility and it is called Sikorsky Global now.
We split from them this year.

The machine shop is still over at the Heliplex in the old Hoppe's building.
There is a huge fab shop over in the highlands, as well as a kitting shop and a training center. They are planning to put our new parts shop in Highlands too.
There is also a huge parts shop across the rd from the highlands. I am not sure what that industrial park is called though.

What kind of military vehicle are you sporting?

on a side note....Conestoga Valley is better haha

 

[Oblivionboyj]

That would be awesome JH!
I need to get next to one of these and really get a look at it; touch it smell it, maybe even try my hand at driving one if possible.
I also need to find out what to look for when buying and all that.
So yeah, local expertise is truly in order here
Saw somebody driving down by Mussers last weekend in an M35A2... your dad maybe? LOL

I am new to the area so CV is as good as any other schools as far as I am concerned. LOL

You should see if you can ride with somebody, this weekend, at Rausch Creek.
