I remember the rescue instructions in the AF Manual that had that info for all our, and a few other countries aircraft. A simple line drawing of only one small part of the fuselage. It had a door marked rescue. Simply run up, open the door, and pull the handle. That's all we were allowed to know way...

Sort of on topic, but just a little warning. The "whole house filter" units that use a carbon bed to remove chlorine and other nasty tasting stuff have become quite popular. And, while they don't soften the water, the top quality ones do just what they say they will do. No here's the probl...

Or a Spectre depending on the model. But the AC119's had a Stinger when they weren't following badguys like a Shadow.

And now for a different suggestion. Tankless hot water heater. The reason tank type have the solids building up is that the temperature of the water is generally hotter than tankless systems. That's why folks add cold water to cool down the hot water before stepping into the shower. When the water i...

Probably have to order one, I doubt that many dealers stock them.

Tried to get a bare bones standard cab Tundra. They don't exist, even if they say it does.

Actually, the F-107 was faster than the F-111. But few people even know the F-107 existed.

Tell me about it. I got the plainest truck I could find to replace my work F-250. Didn't need that big a truck, or the V-10. I ended up with a V-6 (I don't think they make 4's for trucks anymore. Even a base model had electric windows, door locks etc. Just more stuff to break.

Thanks fro bringing back a good memory. It's been quite a few years since I was at that museum. Can't say I remember this particular artifact. But one thing the Spanish have done, is to preserve much of their history. Madrid was a darned interesting city for a twenty something GI and his bride.

I'm froma a Navy family. My dad and I are the only two in three generations that weren't Navy. My grandfathers last ship before he retired was the Vestal. The was recalled when the war started. Sadly he died in '42 before he could go to sea to avenge his shipmates.

Congrats on the new gun.

No problme with killing yotes. My only problem is that where they are the most problem, around human habitation, you aren't allowed to hunt them. The ranchers I know are happy to let you kill all you can find. They are hard on calfs and lambs.

No doubt, a shotgun. For me, a southpaw Remmy 870 12 ga. with estra barrels. Not perfect for everything, but adaptable to just about every chore. Escept CCW, and then if it were legal, one could stick on a pistol grip, a barrel that runs to the end of the forearm, and sling it under one shoulder of ...

[ I'm looking for ideas on how to keep a leather sling from sliding off the shoulder while hunting ] No offense, but my $0.02: NO gun should be slung on one's shoulder while hunting - it should be in the hunter's hand(s). That's why QD swivels are available - to take the durn brush hook off, and pu...

It's been almot twenty years, but long ago, a buddy invited me up to the central valley in California. He told me we were going to shoot feral dogs.

Oh heck. Here I thought we were going to discuss what brand black bears preferred. Silly me.

Fellas, if you will remember, Leroy wasn't the one to worry about. I believe he got cut in a hundred places and shot in a couple more.

Oh and as to the OP. That's great. I love that old stuff. Bygone days seemed to have an appeal to levergun folks.

If you don't want a fighting man to go to sleep, you better not let him sit down someplace with no bullets flying around his ears.

Never owned a Dodge. But for a number of years I used a Dodge PowerWagon. It was a crewcab with a 360, 4x4, stick. It was an USAF rescue vehicle. That truck was great. Tough a nails, and could scoot even with all the stuff we stuck in the various nooks and crannies, not to mention the compartments. ...

I do wear leather boots when I have to go to a construction site. My favorites and the style I've bought for decades are Redwing Pecos. I just use Redwing Boot Oil. My "outdoor" boots are all man made uppers, so they don't need oiling. But I sure do like the smell of a newly oiled pair of ...

Been around for a while. Not sure how true the story is, but it's a darned good sentiment. I have a solution for those types of newspaper ads. The US ought to post one of their own.

Tundra is a good truck. I use one as a work vehicle. Wore out a Ranger and F250. Would have gotten another Ford, but none of the dealers in my area wanted to sell "work" trucks. They just had sissyfied blvd cruisers (and this from the "fleet sales" folks). Truthfully, Whether its...
