thought you'd enjoy the planes!



Pretty sure it was the C-130's that I flew in a couple of times when transiting between Phu Bai, Da Nang and Pleiku during my "Christmas-time Circus" in Vietnam. ("you're getting an early-out Stig", well no I wasn't - typical Army SNAFU - but I had fun flying around the country with no orders trying to get back to the 71st Evac!) Phu Bai to Da Nang hopped a 02:00 hours flight with the graves registration boys and a few silent others.
The plane was loud, and cold! Some of those little round windows were missing plexi.

Those Globemasters fly over our house a few times each month. Men getting their flight hours in I think. Like my father used to have to do, every month for 30 yrs.

Enjoying this, Stig! Thanks!
Fat Albert boys just as precise as the Blue Angel flyers but different envelope. Turbo props on an empty airplane can be spectacular! Steep climb, very steep descent, very short take off and landing rolls. Plus an onboard crapper and a galley!

Yeah, you were in a C-130, the trash hauler limo. My ride one time was with about three other service men, a jet engine in a can and about four tons of toilet paper all headed to Clark AFB in the PI. Cold, noisy, drafty below 10 grand and did I mention noisy?

Did you know the Blue Angel aircraft are the fleet high-time (run-out) ships? These are the ones with the most cat launches and the most arrested landings. These would be dangerous to fly in the fleet. They clean 'em up and paint them up and plug the leaks!

Thanks again and hand salute to the sharp Marines! HOO-RAH!

If you read back a couple of years in this 500 bullet, CROSSBOLT wrote nearly everything in this matter under "darksiding".

Yup, that was me! Still have that car tire on my scoot and it still looks new! It will dry rot off the rim before it wears out! Wish I could fit one to the front!

Nice job on the wiring! Love that diagram!

A hitch for a trailer is a challenge on a mc/scoot. Huge challenge for a one wheel trailer. Looking forward to pictures of your solution.

I have modeled a hitch arrangement for a two wheel trailer that hooks to the bottom of the shock mounts. I will see if I remember how to post pictures here...

Nice pictures as always, Stig! Tell me, Tom: doncha just love the aroma of a bike shop? New stuff, especially stuff with engines and tires, wings, sails or tracks have that "aroma" of adventure! Or maintenance...whichever comes first! Har, har!

The colors I mentioned are relating to corrosion at the terminals. The hint was to disconnect the terminals at the battery, inspect for corrosion and reconnect..

Question: did everything just "turn off" all at once?
Question: have you inspected for loose connections?

Oh, NO! Not the ADMINISTRATOR! He inna heepa trouble! Har, har!

Did not you or maybe your twin get hustled off this forum last year? This post has nothing to do with SCOOTERS or MOTORCYCLES.

Further, the religion you espouse is a fraud since it was invented by a man....
