Did you fly them or fix them? I was an avionics guy who ended up run a QA shop for a 46 Squadron. Forty years ago.

I think my son flew in a +40 year-old Chinook a couple of years ago in Afghanistan.  As he boards, the Army aircrewman hands him a 5 gallon bucket, saying "you're tall, hold this bucket right up here as we power up for takeoff".  Son does as asked and a steady stream of hydraulic fluid starts as the rotors spool up.  Son asks "Isn't that a problem?" to the aircrewman.  Aircrewman, said by son to be about 19 years old, confidently says "it's only a problem if it stops". 

 

I saw a Cricket back in April.  Pretty cool piece of gear!

Neither. I never served.

 

Back in the early 80's when I was a geology student at San Diego State a high school buddy was in the Corps stationed at Camp Pendelton. He was an air crewman and he gave me a mini-tour ground tour during an air show at NAS Miramar.

Had a few rides in one of these big monsters. First one I'll never forget. The second one, the pilots taught the Lady how to fly it.

Ok, there are a couple of stories trying to escape. Perhaps in another thread?

Thanks for the trailer discussions. We are looking at a trailer to use for extended (4-6 month) travel when retirement is a reality and not the future. Won't get rid of the Ocelot, but having the room to move in a trailer is appealing. At least in the west, lot's of pretty easy access to dispersed camping is possible. So having a good list of pros and cons and different trailers to look at is highly appreciated!

I pull a RPOD 179 with my RAM EcoDiesel.  If you're still looking for info on the RPOD, let me know.
