    Going back and looking at the OP's dimensions, with that kind of height, it'll be tough for anything outside a C-123/130 with 85" in height. In the Chinook we wouldn't take any vehicle taller than about 76".

    Caribou is probably too narrow. I agree with Art, Casa 235. Been a few years since I rode in one, but had decent room with all the seats out.

    Really? Like this? You can't even defend yourself less you shoot the tanks! I'll take the high road though. Blackhawks are pretty... And I'll wait for you, whenever you decide to show up, with the gas you desperately need to do whatever it is you guys do. And then, when it's all over, I'll...

    Saw the in-progress airframe at OSH, but thought it was pretty close to the S-20. Recommend you go to the Rans Clan forums. I'd bet those guys will know. There's a section on the S-21 already and it had like 7 pages already.

    Let's say you're walking down the side of the road and there is this cheeseburger...

    In SERE school they said to give it a good shake. Whatever falls to the ground stays there. The rest you can eat. That was some of the best half of a rabbit I ever had.

    Learned something new from my flight physical(update)

    Saw that one yesterday. Pretty lucky they took the hit where they did. 3-4 feet higher in the side of the fuselage and they'd have had problems. Im not sure I'd hear that over the tinnitus I have already!

    Learned something new from my flight physical(update)

    This - I went in for my annual hearing test last Friday at the clinic located on the flight line. Get in the "soundproof" box, take the test (mind you I can hear the H-60 ground running outside amid the beeps and tones) and am told I need further testing because my baseline has shifted. Well no...

    Been lurkin'! No more secret squirrel stuff for this guy, I'm retired! Still have my foot in the door though for post retirement work as an instructor. Life is good! [emoji3] How you been?

    Learned something new from my flight physical(update)

    This thread is the story of my life. Don't count out enlisted aircrew jobs. Lots of airframes don't move without them, and they are every bit as important as the pilots they fly with. It's a standard briefing point in my aircraft that if we have an emergency, my pilots want confirmation and the...

    One dream dead on to the next thing

    Not to thread hijack, but I was at KAEG while they were filming that! Haven't seen the movie yet, but I heard our birds were in the background for a shot or two. They had a full scale plywood F-16 on the ramp that they moved rather quickly while we were taxiing in so we didn't blow it away...

    They are in the working inventory. USASOC/USASOAC and the USCG are flying them.

    Helicopter crash

    That's a very interesting part of history I hadn't heard of before, even after being in TF for a few years. I still can't believe what you guys managed to do with the -5's! My hat's off to you for all you guys contributed "back in the day".

    C-17 drop

    HMMWV's aren't much of a load for that beast. I'm betting the CG change is negligible. I was surprised that the pallets rolled off the floor so smoothly. I remember fighting ISU-90's to get them into position to lock down on the floor. The cargo floor and associated automatic locking mechanism...
