I don't think that Salvador Dali could have done that good of a job.

I never got to fly with them, but I sure as hell repaired comm/nav problems on them.

See nancy punched in the face? That's so dem-o-graphic.

That's funny right there, I don't care who y'are!

We could probably have a new Federal Holiday!!!

I believe those adapters are local man tools. I won't be back at the office until Tuesday to make sure of it.

Are you talikng the 245 and 737 ring segment retorque?

Well, this doesn't specifically say Budweiser, but I believe the number I previously saw did.

OK, OK, I only copied the characteristics data. Here it is on WEBFLIS, with the part number.

No mil spec, but here is the NSN.

Yep, it was in the JG

One of the funniest (?) Mil specs I have run across looking for other stuff.

I couldn't find a conversion chart in the GE or the old -1 copy I have.

JP4 is a mixture of kerosene and gas.

http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/systems/aircraft/systems/engines-fuel.htm

The official name is dip stick.

A density of 6.7 lbs/gal was to determine the calibration of the 394607-15 dip stick; therefore, the accuracy of the dip stick is affected by the actual density of the fuel and is not to be used to determine the accuracy of the indicator. The airplane must be level when using the dip stick.

I would assume since most of the jet fuels are kerosene based, that they would be close to each other.

I think the normal height loss in approximately 2" per thousand pounds of fuel. I also don't think you use the stick as a fuel measurement tool either. But then again, I don't fly them.

Thank you very much! It's great to know that there are people like you all that can share your expertise with us. I am going to build my model with the doors open and I wanted to make sure to do it right. When I get done I will send along some pictures for you all to see. Again, thank you all for your help!

Karl,

Here's a pic from the inside. You can see that the door bottom is just about flush with the door opening.

Another puzzler: what tech data would we use to remove/install the rescue equipment bins, forward (and above) the Benson tank on an HC-130P? I had hope when I found them mentioned in the 25GS-00-1...but there's no corresponding procedure in the 25JG-00-1. Got an LSET hitting here in less than 2 weeks and I get the feeling that the 1-1A-8 and the 1C-130H-4-25-1 ain't gonna cut it.

Thanks!

That's what they were using here at Moody, the GS and the 1-1A-8. You could also use the IPB, which shows all the hardware, -4-25-1, section 25-20-00, fig 9-9d.

Or, you could do what we are doing here now. The rescue bins and personnel equipment bins have been removed per request of the 71RQS commander to eliminate configuration problems.

If you are still looking... Of course, before anyone corrects me, those aren't the tracks, those are ribs, but the tracks follow the ribs up along the side of the fuselage.

You mean the bumper stops that don't have to touch the aircraft skin?

I believe the Radome glycol filler door was round, like on the AWADS birds, but it's been a while, and I've slept since then.

I found out it was 68-0935 this morning.

Hard to believe they have that much money.

APQ122(V)5? Holy Dog, we took that off the H1s in 1988 and the C5s some time around there as well, maybe in the very early '90's. With all those parts and the (V)1 AWADS parts that AFSOC couldn't use for the (V)8, that would give them a few spares.

I thought lousy soldier covered that enlistment thing, as he was also kicked out of the Army intelligence school. But I digress... After all of the chatter, I will admit Ted Kennedy was a human being.

LMAO, that's microsteps.

GPS? It wasn't originally part of SCNS, and I don't think our crews ever got lost. A ring laser gyro INU is pretty accurate, and added to everything else, the old SCNS solution wasn't that far off.

If GPS is so good, why do we still need the ADF?

He was a liar, lawyer, politician, lousy soldier and Democrat. He was also a womanizer and a drunk, so at least he got two things right.

How much is 150 billion Naira? $50,000?

I assume the trim tab is trying to drive the aircraft back and not actually causing the condition.

If I'm thinking right, if the aircraft starts to pitch up, the trim tab should go up, trying to force the elevator down. Is that what's going on?

I never did see anything after I posted something about the servo clutch. Have you changed that out, and not just swapped the servo?

There once was a senator from Mass,

Who went out in search of some a$$;

He lucked up and found it,

F****d up and drowned it,

And that was the end of his a$$.

Man, was that limerick writer very wrong. Of course, he didn't know anything about the people of Taxachussetts.

Tuna, peanut butter, crackers, a Ruger 10/22 magnum, and a strong handgun.

I choose the 10/22 mag because you can easily carry around thousands of rounds of ammo.
