You go on the nose hose when you start aircraft starting checklists and stay there until you pressurize below 10K

The coach had put together the perfect team for the Chicago Bears. The only thing that was missing was a good quarterback. He had scouted all the colleges and even the Canadian and European Leagues, but he couldn't find a ringer who could ensure a Super Bowl win. Then one night while watching CNN he saw a war-zone scene in Afghanistan . In one corner of the background, he spotted a young Afghan soldier with a truly incredible arm. He threw a hand-grenade straight into a 15th story window 100 yards away. KABOOM! He threw another hand-grenade 75 yards away, right into a chimney. KA-BLOOEY! Then he threw another at a passing car going 90 mph. BULLS-EYE! "I've got to get this guy!" Coach said to himself. "He has the perfect arm!" So, he brings him to the States and teaches him the great game of football. And the Bears go on to win the Super Bowl. The young Afghan is hailed as the great hero of football, and when the coach asks him what he wants, all the young man wants is to call his mother. "Mom," he says into the phone, "I just won the Super Bowl!" "I don't want to talk to you, the old woman says. “You are not my son!" "I don't think you understand, Mother," the young man pleads. "I've won the greatest sporting event in the world. I'm here among thousands of my adoring fans." "No! Let me tell you!" his mother retorts. "At this very moment, there are gunshots all around us. The neighborhood is a pile of rubble. Your two brothers were beaten within an inch of their lives last week, and I have to keep your sister in the house so she doesn't get raped!" The old lady pauses, and then tearfully says, "I will never forgive you for making us move to Chicago !!!!

Well I guess its time to get out the scale, it seems like the best idea for telling if the shell is charged or not since things can seriously go bad if I run into another squib load. Thanks for the idea Natops1

Whats missing from all the H models you have listed (the original H's in 64 to all subsequent H's) is generator disconnect.

Yep, its the 4th SOS

I think I know what the switches at the top are for, but I'm not completely sure about the lower part: Slipway lights are the 12 bulbs located inside of the refueling receptical, the two lights in front of the UARRSI are part of the area lights (plus the two lights to either side of the receptical). I dont remember the exact location of these but they were back twords the wings on top of the fuselage. Your right, the leading edge lights on UARRSI aircraft have a wider angle of illumination than non UARRSI AMPL is indeed amplifier, signal amplifier to be totally correct. Should just be the lights on the AR panel itself, separate from center pedestal lights.

Went to the range the other day and shooting my carry gun and had a squib load (primer only, no gunpowder) and now I have a bullet lodged HARD into the barrel, now to find a way to get it out without damaging the barrel. Scary part is this is my carry gun, what would have happened if I had to use it and this happened - seriously screwed is what I would have been. This was with MagTech ammo, anybody else have trouble with their ammo?

Man wouldn't I love that, unfortunately its a little too rich for my blood at about 8 grand!! Now that is an idea, use one of my 1919's as a cane LOL

Thanks Giz, actually I am pretty much back to normal. Have some permanent damage to my right leg (because of how the disk was bulging into my spinal cord before surgery), its numb and the foot droops so it kinda drags when I walk. That part sucks but I guess I will get used to it, thinking real hard about a cane, yuk.

I could agree with moving the entire force to AFSOC, things would work smoother, I mean the rescue birds do quite a bit of the same stuff the Shados do, they would find better funding there as well.

Thanks for the ideas, but it did turn out to be three surgery's in a two month period - it ended up being just a bit painful. Decided to blow off any malpractice crap, just couldn't stomach the thought of dealing with a lawyer.

My last 13 years were in AFSOC and they were always painted, thats the reason I asked the question

I have a full set of engine indicators, some RMI's and speed indicator. Want to do something with them but so far they are just in storage.

Why is the chin scoop and the oil cooler inlet unpainted on that P model er WC or whatever

Had the pleasure of many a buddy start during the first gulf war and the Balkans, both giving and receiving. They work GREAT on the older Iron head Harley cylinder nuts

Guys, thanks for the info and the great support, I have just rolled back home from time number three and hope like hell this works out. Had a lot of work I wanted to do here this summer and once again looks like my whole summer got rolled up in medical delays, sheeesh. I am just glad the old saying ISNT fourth times a charm LOL

Well this has been a pretty crappy summer for me, I had to get back surgery for a disk bulge on July 19th, then on 31 Aug they had to go back in again because bone slivers left behind from the first surgery had torn a 3 inch hole in the spinal dura (the membrane covering the spinal cord and brain), that left a huge drain of CSF (cerebral spinal fluid) so they had to go back in to stitch the dura back up. I cant even begin to describe the level of migraines I have had to deal with since the tear started, problem is now 5 days after the surgery I am still having the migraines and the wound is draining like a beast still, afraid they missed another tear back there. I dont know what the hell I will do if this turns into a third times a charm gaggle. If this thing doesn't get fixed up this time and they have to go back in again I may pursue malpractice suit; this really nauseates me to think of doing, I am more the kind of person that if I have a problem with you I will give you a personal tune up instead of lawsuit. I think lawyers are the worst kind of scum in our society. Does anybody know of a website that you can check out a doctors history, lawsuits, that kind of stuff?

sounds silly enough to be true

Ill take the thing, got a 3/4 acre side yard just right for it, just need someone to deliver it.

Yeah, my lungs are finally getting better and just had back surgery, again, and things are finally getting back on track. Trying to get ahold of the town train depot this week, that one will be an easy rebuild- I can get federal "historical property" cash to work on it. The Gewher 88 is more commonly known as the 88 commission rifle, and yes ugly as a dogs butt. I used to have one but I traded it for a tattoo

Went to the range yesterday but had one of those rotten days where I couldn't get both halves of my brain to agree what to take and what to leave; needless to say my boy and I hauled a pretty large pile of iron and ammo. Results, a very good and very long day at the range :hatnuke: It was a great day, but one thing still amazes me, the 1919 weighs in at 46 lbs and it still punches a decent recoil, a little harder than the Garand. You would think the weight would eat up the recoil but ......... I was using some old POF .303 for my #1mk3, never have fired it before and boy is it strange, having like a one second lock time?!?!?!?!? Click, wait, boom. My shots were really all over the place with that stuff.

Here are the top nine comments made by NBC sports commentators so far during the Summer Olympics that they would like to take back: 1. Weightlifting commentator: This is Gregoriava from Bulgaria . I saw her snatch this morning during her warm up and it was amazing. 2. Dressage commentator: This is really a lovely horse and I speak from personal experience since I once mounted her mother. 3. Gymnast: I owe a lot to my parents, especially my mother and father. 4. Boxing Analyst: Sure there have been injuries, and even some deaths in boxing, but none of them really that serious. 5. Softball announcer: If history repeats itself, I should think we can expect the same thing again. 6. Basketball analyst: He dribbles a lot and the opposition doesn't like it. In fact you can see it all over their faces. 7. At the rowing medal ceremony: Ah, isn't that nice, the wife of the IOC president is hugging the cox of the British crew. 8. Soccer commentator: Julian Dicks is everywhere. It's like they've got eleven Dicks on the field. 9. Tennis commentator: One of the reasons Andy is playing so well is that, before the final round, his wife takes out his balls and kisses them... Oh my God, what have I just said?
