I would like to thank all of you for the advise posted on this forum. It made my 12/08/2014 pickup of a M1102 at Nellis AFB flawless.
Of particular help was:
Here are a few photos of the trailers at Nellis AFB on 12/08/2014. The photo of my trailer behind the Chrysler Aspen was taken at the Walmart that is just outside of the AFB.

Of particular help was:
- Get a 3' piece of chain and quicklinks, because the pintle hitch places the trailer too far form the tow vehicle to use only the trailer chains.
- Use the cheap Harbor Freight magnetic trailer lights instead of messing around with the wiring during pickup. Use zip-ties to secure the lights to the landing leg mounts.
