Well!!.........I suppose I could still make a ground run on it!!!...Push it until it starts bouncin' up and down!!!

Well! I beleive(unless someone can cheer me up) that the Herk has lost his Magnanimity. I must be getting old!!!

Hey Dan!!!!......."you is" a tough cookie!!!!!

and So do I SergF...................................John Boy

it's because you're like Maxwell Smart!!!......."you fell for it"!!!

But!!!! what about the windows!!!!! Here, up north, we need good windows and insulations. We do not care about Tornados!!!..But of course, Dan could always use his super dupper F-250 cab. ......By the way....is it diesel engine!!!........Cheers!!!!.............John Boy

Yes Sir!!!!! Congratulations again. You're on the F side!!!!........but yours is like a bit nicer than mine!!!!.............Cheers!!.......................John Boy

Hey Dan. I must say that you bought a nice place. I like it!! But!!!!!...But...!!!....do you mean to tell us that you drive a Dodge pick up!!...........................................John Boy

I agree with both of you guys!!

Hello. I received a few video yesterday and I really feel like sharing with you. Maybe you guys have seen it before. But I think that all those guys working on aircraft carriers are amazing. In the videos, the pilots are just great!!! What a feeling!! ....................John Boy http://www.youtube.com/watch_popup?v=4gGMI8d3vLs http://www.youtube.com/watch_popup?v=S0yj70QbBzg

You're right Bob. I do not know who and where they are. Could it be in Mexico somewhere!!!

For those guys....like me, who have been away from it since a certain time. Just enjoy the sound of it!!!.................Cheers!!!!!!!!!!!............John Boy

Good day. I was on the impression that fuel enrichment was disabled! Unless it is some old stuff bubbling up from the L-1011 RR engine ....RB211!!!!!!!! I will have to investigate on it!!. OK guys,..carry on!!!.................John Boy

.Holy smoke!.How lucky were we in Trenton, CAF Base. We had a Herc Sim...............What a good feeling. After a day in the simulator, with air conditionning, ........after the instruction day, getting out of school. It was so warm outside!!..........oh ...yesss!!!!!...... We had a good instructor!! I think that in Canada the Herky is mostly a military A/C............But you guys have so many!!!.................you have a crew to remove the prop, a crew to remove the engine, a crew to install the engine, a crew to install a prop and a super dupper crew to run the engine........unless I'm mistakin'. In the years 70-80 it seems to be that way!!! If I am wrong.........feel free to let me know!!!............and it is not a blame.............................................John Boy

.....Thank you so much Buff!!!!................John Boy

Well guys!!! I took a look on the pictures up above and "I know it doesn't make sense, but!!!............ How can we show up a pic of an Herc like that. This is like a dead body. I really do not like it. Sorry guys! I had to mention it!! Maybe there's something wrong with me................Boots and reboots me!

sorry guys! I tried to fill in a new post...and I blew it to oblivian!!!.......John Boy

..........Well!..this is the question!..Is the J model more maintenance free than the E or H models (when they were new birds). And what about the fact that they do not need an FE anymore!!....It's a big machine to operate. They did the same with civilian Aircrafts. I remember when the Boeing 767 came in at Air Canada. ..replacing the DC-8 and 727!!....is it the way the cookies crumble!!!...................John Boy

..........Well!! Good day to you all!!....I beleive that you're an old fart when you've been away from the Herc for 30 years , but not in your mind. It feels good to be a member of this forum.........Cheers!!.......................John Boy

........goin' back to mother nature!

thanks TinyClark!....Oh well!!....now let's see!!!!!!.....................John Boy

Better be safe than sorry!............................John Boy
