yeah. Bamberg Germany, September 12th 2001. we're getting told to blend in with the locals when off post. the folks that live off post. in the known American housing. on the street full of Chevy trucks instead of Mercedes sedans....... but try to blend in.

601st TACW. Sembach AB, 1975-1984 yeah, dont look like much. But USAFE actually believed in the lo viz, no markings OPSEC thing..... at least the 20th TASS in '76 had some color about it.

its in Gunny's Ordanance Shop II

looks cool and all. but i like something a little more operational

all kinds of distractions today

crew chiefs first question probably be where'e you steal the jet from? meanwhile down south... i'd like to say this is how you dodge ground fire. but the next burst got me (at least i got the goddammevilcommbuilding)

awesome that you got to see Metallica, and do it with your son. and very awesome about teh lymphoma news different deployment backstory, similar end results. most of my "outdoors in crowds " experiences have been on account of my kids. i will say that it slacked off as they hit adult hood tho

main paint done now for all the little details across units and years................

he's right, there is a whole pack with all the variants of th eOV-10. im just workin with Sundowner's model cause, well, it Sundowners model. just a couple steps above the rest

thank you to whoever did the BUFF FM, and added that flat takeoff like IRL bomb away

nope. the overall project is USAF FACs post Nam. so these, O-2s (the YAP model) and OA-37s this summer, the OA-10 TASS units probably during Christmas time you nearly wrecked the whole works.... due to spitting coffee

i learned this weekend that USAF Broncos were often boxed up and then shipped once the WW2 escort carriers/aircraft transport ships were retired "dammit, who put the wrong wing on? "

gettin closer here on the big island..... when im done with 50 shades of SPAM and knock out some kimchi, thens its time to go full european........
