I just got back from picking up the command trailer at Eglin AFB, FL.
I left Decatur, AL, Wednesday about 13:30 and made it to Brewton, AL, around 8:30.
For some reason the M52 would only top out about 45 MPH so the going was slow.
I overnighted at Brewton and arrived at Eglin around 09:30.
I signed in at GL and the rep took me out to the back 40 where the trailer was stored.
Murphy had been conspicious by his absence but he popped up when I discovered there was no crank for the landing gear. I quickly beat him into submission by using a large set of channel locks to raise the gear.
I hooked up the air and light cable and rolled back toward the Primary LZ.
With the trailer hooked on the going was really slow. I finally stopped and bled the injectors and it pepped up somewhat (note to self...next time bleed injectors prior to trip). I was able to hit 50 once and a while.
I made it here about 8:45 and relaxed.
No pics......Murphy did manage to FUBAR my digital. If I get it fixed I'll shoot a few of it hooked to the tractor.
